🖖 Happy 60th Anniversary, #StarTrek! 🚀 Science fiction 🤝 science fact: Rocketdyne’s NEXT-C ion propulsion system powered NASA’s DART spacecraft, the same system that powered the USS Enterprise. 60 years later, we’re still boldly going. 🚀 #StarTrek60

49 years ago today, Voyager 1 left Earth to explore Jupiter and Saturn. Then it kept going. Rocketdyne propulsion helped send it on its way and has supported its journey into interstellar space. Nearly five decades later, Voyager 1 reminds us just how far we can go.

@NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman’s latest Rocketdyne stop: Redmond. Our team shared the propulsion work behind missions in space, including MR-106L thrusters aboard NASA’s recently launched @NASARoman Space Telescope. Thanks for visiting! 🚀

@NASARoman is on its way, and Rocketdyne is going with it. Eight of our MR-106L thrusters are aboard Roman, ready to support critical orbital maneuvers and maintain its orbital position at L-2 throughout the mission. 🚀

Getting excited about the @NASARoman launch? Watch here to see how our MR-106L thrusters (2:54 in the video) are going to keep Roman pointed in the right direction and keep the reaction wheels from saturating.
