The site now is testing RS-25 engines that will send the world\u2019s most powerful rocket, SLS, on Artemis missions to the Moon and on eventual flights to Mars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2026 the second largest of 10 NASA centers in America<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stennis is located on more than 138,000 acres of land, making it the second largest of 10 NASA centers in the United States in terms of geographic size. This area includes a 13,800-acre \u201cfee area and a 125,000-acre buffer zone, which is considered a national asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All Stennis facilities and test structures are in the \u201cfee\u201d area, with the surrounding buffer zone extending in all directions in a 9-mile radius. The buffer zone allows the site to operate year-round with little-to-no interruption of area businesses and residents during test operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The location of Stennis, along with the versatile testing infrastructure, provides a secure, flexible work environment and facilitates a variety of testing needs, both for NASA and commercial partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2026 a unique federal city home to about 40 agencies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stennis continues to evolve since the early days of testing in the 1960s, transforming into a unique federal city home to about 40 federal, state, academic, private, and technology-based tenants and 5,000-plus employees. If counted as a single workforce, Stennis Space Center would rank as one of the Top 10 largest businesses in the state of Mississippi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the federal city framework, resident agencies pursue individual missions while sharing in overall operating costs for the center. The shared concept allows the agencies to direct more funding to individual missions, making Stennis a paradigm of operating efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2026 an economic engine for the Gulf Coast region<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With its effective cost-sharing philosophy, versatile test facilities, and highly skilled and diverse workforce, Stennis is a model of government efficiency that provides American taxpayers positive returns on their investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The site serves as a powerful economic engine for local economies in the Gulf Coast region. According to Mississippi State University studies, Stennis contributes as much as $1 billion a year to the economies of Hancock, Harrison, and Pearl River counties in Mississippi and St. Tammany Parish in Louisiana \u2013 all located within a 50-mile radius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The site also serves as a seedbed for cutting-edge technology development, helping to instill an entrepreneurial spirit in the region and attract new industry to the area. In addition, Stennis employees positively impact their local communities in such areas as education, civic engagement and leadership, and racial and cultural integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2026 bottom line \u2013 a treasure for both Mississippi and the nation.<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"width-full maxw-full bg-carbon-05 hds-cover-wrapper minh-tablet-lg hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-callout\">\n\t<div class=\"hds-foreground-wrapper padding-bottom-9 padding-top-9 display-flex\">\n\t\t<div class=\"grid-row grid-container grid-container-block margin-top-auto width-full maxw-desktop-lg padding-top-9 padding-x-3 z-400\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row grid-container grid-container-block margin-top-auto width-full maxw-desktop-lg padding-y-9 padding-x-3 z-400\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 tablet:grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-6 z-400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"page-heading-md font-weight-extrabold line-height-heading-1 color-spacesuit-white-important\">Stennis Space Center Virtual Tour<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p-lg margin-top-2 padding-0 margin-bottom-4 color-spacesuit-white-important\">Go on a behind-the-scenes virtual tour of John C.
