Alliant Techsystems (ATK) and NASA conducted a successful ground test earlier today of the second Ares five-segment Development Motor (DM-2). The successful test is a milestone in the development of what will probably be the cancelled Ares-1 and Ares-V. There is ongoing Congressional debate on the booster to be used by NASA in the future and how American astronuts will get to low earth orbit (LEO). More from BBC, SpaceRef and NASASpaceflight.
