NASA’s new engine, the CECE
NASA’s Common Extensible Cryogenic Engine or CECE for short, is powered by super cool liquid hydrogen and oxygen. When the mix hits the outer rim of the engine it immediately turns to ice and remains despite the engine burning at over 5000 degrees Fahrenheit.
The engine is unique for its ability to reduce thrust from 108% to 8% which will allow for gentle lunar landings.
