I am developing a FSX-based space flight simulator FSX SpacePort. I've been trying to get the detailed specs on NASA's RS-25 engine, namely, what were the ramp-up times for this engine? As in, how long did it take from ignition to full thrust?



Thanks!

          A good assumption is that the startup sequence is very similar to the SSME. Here is some SSME startup data showing the time you asked about from the Rocketdyne Pocket Data Book. Eventually the SLS will be using RS-25Es which are somewhat different from the SSME, but my guess is that the start sequence won't change much if at all.

            So - since it takes ~4 seconds to get them to 100% thrust, do they then ignite them at T -4:00 seconds, and they count T -0:00 the time all of them are roughly at 100%, the SRBs get lit, and it's a "mission start"?
