J-2X Powers the Vision for
Space Exploration
• PWR on contract now and executing
• Working to definitize DDT&E contract in
parallel
• Accelerated schedule - early testing / fab
critical
• Rely on heritage & flight proven
technology
• J-2X success critical to Exploration
sustainability
Low risk propulsion for Exploration
