U.S. Representative Steve Scalise, left, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine and U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, right gather to watch as the core stage for the first flight of NASA's Space Launch System rocket undergoes a scheduled eight minute duration hot fire test in the B-2 Test Stand, January 16, 2021, at NASA's Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The four RS-25 engines fired for a little more than one minute and generated 1.6 million pounds of thrust. The hot fire is the final test of the Green Run test series, a comprehensive assessment of the Space Launch System’s core stage prior to launching the Artemis I mission to the Moon.

NASA Stennis Leaders Visit Capitol Hill
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman visited NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility May 7, 2026, to see how the MAF team is helping build the future of human space exploration through Artemis. As a key production site for NASA's SLS (Space Launch System) and Orion spacecraft, teams at Michoud are focused on hardware for upcoming Artemis missions, including next year’s Artemis III mission and beyond. Isaacman toured the facility following an employee town hall. Acknowledging the facility’s rich history supporting all agency human space flight initiatives since Apollo, Isaacman called Michoud an “advanced manufacturing center of excellence,” and praised the workforce for their contribution to the Artemis campaign. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise was also in attendance and participated in the event and tours. Image credit: NASA/Michael DeMocker
