Engine Testing for Exploration Act

This bill requires NASA to maintain its rocket engine testing capabilities at the Stennis Space Center for human spaceflight programs, including future Moon missions. It mandates that Stennis remain NASA's primary facility for testing rocket propulsion systems and ensures NASA preserves internal expertise in this area through private-sector partnerships. Within 180 days of enactment, NASA must report to Congress on its plans for testing rocket engines used in both low-Earth orbit and deep-space missions involving government astronauts. The bill directly affects NASA's operational structure and Stennis Space Center's role in space launch vehicle safety and development.
