Year 2000 has been an active one for rocket propulsion testing at the NASA John C. Stennis Space Center. The paper highlights several major test facilities for large-scale propulsion devices, and summarizes the varied nature of the recent test projects conducted at the Stennis Space Center (SSC) such as the X-33 Aerospike Engine, Ultra Low Cost Engine (ULCE) thrust chamber program, and the Hybrid Sounding Rocket (HYSR) program. Further, an overview of relevant engineering capabilities and technology challenges in conduction full-scale propulsion testing are outlined.
