SLS\u2019s wet dress rehearsal took place all day Monday. It began with fueling up the rocket just like it would be for launch and ended at T-29 seconds. This was the first time NASA was able to get this far, with previous attempts concluding before the terminal count could begin.<\/p>\n

Getting through terminal count, which begins at T-10 minutes, was a big milestone. This included handing off between the ground launch sequencer and the automated launch sequencer, which the rocket controls. These control all the moving parts and manage when actions must take place to launch SLS. Again, this was a big step and one of many major milestones completed during the June 20 test.<\/p>\n

This was also the first time NASA fueled all four tanks at the same time. This fueling process has four parts \u2013 slow fill, fast fill, topping, and then replenish. During previous attempts, one or more of the tanks could not be filled due to various issues with the rocket. Those issues have been fixed, but this test showed more kinks need to be worked out.<\/p>\n
