NASA successfully cold-fires its next-generation DM-2 solid rocket motor
In short: Watch the successful cold-fire of the DM-2 motor, a critical milestone for NASA's next-generation propulsion technology. This test marks a significant leap in solid rocket development at the ATK facility in Utah.
The DM-2 is a five-segment solid rocket development motor designed for future missions. The successful cold-fire test at the ATK facility in Promontory, Utah, validates the motor's integrity before it undergoes full-power ignition.
Beyond propulsion, the week highlights NASA's broader technological expansion, including a Chief Technologist tour of three centers and the MMS passing its critical design review.
