NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) program and Core Stage prime contractor Boeing conducted the second static firing of the new rocket stage and its four Aerojet Rocketdyne RS-25 engines. The primary goal in the repeat of the Green Run Hot-Fire test was to complete all ten of the design verification objectives (DVO); the abbreviated first test on January 16 demonstrated three of the DVOs and part of another.
