J-2X

The J-2X is a liquid-fueled cryogenic rocket engine that was planned for use on the Ares rockets of NASA's Constellation program, and later the Space Launch System. Built in the United States by Aerojet Rocketdyne (formerly, Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne), the J-2X burns cryogenic liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellants, with each engine producing 1,307 kN (294,000 lb_f) of thrust in vacuum at a specific impulse (I_sp) of 448 seconds (4.39 km/s). The engine's mass is approximately 2,470 kg (5,450 Lb), significantly heavier than its predecessors.

Engineers at NASA's Stennis Space Center conducted a test of the J-2X engine powerpack Feb. 15, 2012, the first in a series of key tests in development of the next-generation rocket.

J-2X engine No. 10001 is returned March 8, 2012, to the A-2 Test Stand at Stennis Space Center for its second round of tests. The developmental engine underwent an initial series of tests last year.
