NASA Stennis Provides Ideal Setting for Range Operations<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Think of NASA\u2019s Stennis Space Center, and one likely thinks of rocket propulsion testing. The site has a long history of testing to support the nation\u2019s space efforts, including the current Artemis program to send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future human exploration of Mars.<\/p>\n

However, NASA Stennis also is working to become a key supporter of more terrestrial exploration. Indeed, in terms of unmanned range operations, NASA Stennis has it all \u2013 layers of restricted airspace, a closed canal system, and acres upon acres of protected terrain.<\/p>\n
