It is the month that refuses to sit still. One day, the sun is shining, and the next day, the wind is howling through the trees, especially in the 125,000-acre buffer zone at NASA Stennis.<\/p>\n<p>The buffer zone and location of NASA Stennis helps provide the right conditions for around-the-clock propulsion test capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>March, like NASA Stennis, is full of possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>The month kicks off a season of new beginnings. It is a time when farmers begin to plant seeds.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stennis\/powering-space-dreams\/\">powering space dreams<\/a> at NASA Stennis is a lot like farmers planting seeds?<\/p>\n<p>Planting a seed is simple, yet profound. It signals a fresh start no matter if you are an experienced planter or if it is your first time.<\/p>\n<p>Picking the right seed, carefully choosing the spot, and preparing the soil are ways to get going. Anticipation begins in March as planters set the stage for something that will happen over time.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, NASA Stennis is the right place to pick for many aerospace companies large and small. It is where the road to launch begins.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the company is brand new to the field, like a first-time planter, or more experienced, the soil is right at NASA Stennis. South Mississippi is where a team of experts can help companies achieve a successful outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Ah yes, the month of March and NASA Stennis are indeed alike.<\/p>\n<p>They both can be a bridge between what was and what is to come \u2013 one, a time of year and the other, a place to shake off the winter slumber, take a deep breath, and step into something new.<\/p>\n<p>There is something magical about planting seeds, just like there is something magical about powering space dreams at NASA Stennis.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NASA Stennis Top News<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NASA Stennis Teams Install New Production RS-25 Engine for Upcoming Hot Fire<\/h3>\n<p>NASA marked a key milestone Feb. 18 with installation of RS-25 engine No. E20001, the first new production engine to help power the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket on future Artemis missions to the Moon.<\/p>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"nasa-gb-align-center nasa-button-link padding-y-1 padding-x-0 hds-module wp-block-nasa-blocks-related-link\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/#\"  class=\"button-primary button-primary-md link-external-false\" aria-label=\"Read More About the New Production \"><br \/>\n\t\t<span class=\"line-height-alt-1\">Read More About the New Production <\/span><br \/>\n\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"button-primary-circle\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NASA Stennis Flashback: Learning About Rocket Engine Exhaust for Safe Space Travel<\/h3>\n<p>NASA\u2019s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, is widely known as the nation\u2019s largest rocket propulsion test site.<\/p>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"nasa-gb-align-center nasa-button-link padding-y-1 padding-x-0 hds-module wp-block-nasa-blocks-related-link\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/centers-and-facilities\/stennis\/stennis-flashback-diagnostic-test-facility\/\"  class=\"button-primary button-primary-md link-external-true\" aria-label=\"Read More About the Diagnostic Test Facility\"><br \/>\n\t\t<span class=\"line-height-alt-1\">Read More About the Diagnostic Test Facility<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"button-primary-circle\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Center Activities<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NASA in NOLA for Super Bowl<\/h3>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-image-carousel grid-container grid-container-block padding-top-8 padding-bottom-8 hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-image-carousel\">\n<div class=\"hds-carousel-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-carousel-slider margin-0\" id=\"image-carousel-slider\">\n<div class=\"display-block width-full\">\n<figure class=\"margin-0\">\n<div class=\"hds-cover-wrapper hds-image-carousel-slide margin-bottom-2\">\n<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/ssc-20250207-s00071-nasa-in-nola-for-super-bowl-e1741096843241.jpg?w=1024\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"NASA Stennis representatives inspire the Artemis Generation at the Audubon Aquarium\" style=\"transform: scale(1.2);
