Source: NASA Northrop Grumman Vice President of Propulsion Systems Charlie Precourt has told NASA, "The GEM-63XL increases thrust and performance by 15 - 20 percent compared to a standard GEM 63." The purpose of the January 21, 2020 test was to validate the performance of the new motors internal insulation, the grain of its solid propellant, and its ballistics, in a hot-conditioned environment. A previous test of the motor cond...

SLS, Stennis working on colder LOX for next Green Run WDR attempt December 11, 2020 Space Launch System (SLS) Core Stage Green Run team members are working on new procedures to supply liquid oxygen (LOX) to the vehicle at lower temperatures in the next Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR) attempt. The first attempt on December 7 at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi was scrubbed because the temperature of the LOX was a few degrees higher than design requirements as it entered the vehicle; NASA did no...
