CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, three Pratt Whitney Rocketdyne space shuttle main engines (SSMEs) sit on stands inside the Engine Shop, with six more engines lined up behind them. For the first time, all 15 main engines are in the Engine Shop at the same time. They are being prepared for shipment to NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi for storage following the completion of the Space Shuttle Program. The engines are being repurposed for use on NASA’s Space Launch System heavy lift rocket. Photo credit: NASA_Dimitri Gerondidakis
