The space agency capped off summer testing with a 500-second hot fire of a fifth RS-25 engine flight controller unit on the A-1 Test Stand at Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The controller serves as the &#8220;brain&#8221; of the engine, communicating with SLS flight computers to ensure engines are performing at needed levels.
