The John C. Stennis Space Center (SSC) in South Mississippi is one of ten NASA field centers in the United States. It is home to America’s largest rocket engine test complex where future engines and stages will be tested for returning astronauts to the moon and on to Mars. Because of its important role in engine testing for four decades, Stennis Space Center is NASA's program manager for rocket propulsion testing with total responsibility for conducting and/or managing all NASA propulsion test programs.

Currently, Stennis Space Center tests all Space Shuttle Main Engines. These high-performance, liquid-fueled engines provide most of the total impulse needed during the shuttle's eight and one-half-minute-flight to orbit. All shuttle main engines must pass a series of test firings at Stennis Space Center prior to being installed in the back of the orbiter.

Schmidt Consulting Group, Inc. established its relationship with Stennis Space Center in 2001. We have provided design services for a number of projects there, including:
