Groups representing people living near the Stennis Space Center have contested NASA's decision to test the Advanced Solid Rocket Motor (ASRM) in Mississippi because of their concerns about potential environmental consequences. They are concerned that NASA's computer modeling of ASRM tests cannot accurately predict these environmental effects and that environmental data on testing in Utah is not relevant for predicting environmental damage in Mississippi. They contend that Mississippi weather, with its high relative humidity and frequent rainfall, increases the possibility that exhaust pollutants will create acid rain and aluminum oxide fallout on the land surrounding the test site. Additionally, ASRM testing restrictions at the Stennis Space Center and environmental problems at other NASA facilities are discussed.
