[16] [17] NASA announced that Rocketdyne would be the main subcontractor for the J-2X rocket engine on July 16, 2007. [18] NASA selected Boeing to provide and install the avionics for the Ares I rocket on December 12, 2007. [19] On August 28, 2007, NASA awarded the Ares I Upper Stage manufacturing contract to Boeing.
Ares I-X was the first-stage prototype and design concept demonstrator of Ares I, a launch system for human spaceflight developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Ares I-X was successfully launched on October 28, 2009. [1] [2] The project cost was $445 million. [3] It was the final launch from LC-39B until Artemis 1 ...
The Ares IV concept combines an Ares I upper stage on top of an Ares V. [23] Specifically, the vehicle would consist of the liquid-fueled core stage from the Ares V design, two five-segment solid rocket boosters, and the liquid-fueled upper stage from the Ares I, as described by NASA in January 2007. The Ares IV would be a combined 367 ft (112 ...
The Aerial Regional-scale Environmental Survey (ARES) was a proposal by NASA's Langley Research Center to build a robotic, rocket-powered airplane that would fly one mile above the surface of Mars, [1] in order to investigate the atmosphere, surface, and sub-surface of the planet.
The design of the J-2X engine intended for use on the Ares V booster rocket was originally to be similar to the J-2 engine of the Apollo-era Saturn V and Saturn IB rockets. In designing the J-2X, NASA engineers visited museums, searched for Apollo-era documentation and consulted with engineers who worked on the Apollo program.

The F-1 engine is the most powerful single-nozzle liquid-fueled rocket engine ever flown. The M-1 rocket engine was designed to have more thrust, but it was only tested at the component level. The later developed RD-170 is much more stable, technologically more advanced , more efficient and produces more thrust, but uses four nozzles fed by a ...
