The development of the Space Shuttle Main Engine has provided a high performance, reusable component for the Space Transportation System. A discussion of how ground testing identified problems and their resolution paved the way for certification of the engine for flight. A launch summary and a discussion of launch anomalies are included. Continuing improvements and established overhaul criteria are described which will extend the operating life and allow each engine to be used efficiently.
