NASA Begins Fueling Test for SLS Rocket as it Conducts Wet Dress Rehearsal for Artemis II Mission

NASA has begun the countdown for the Artemis II Wet Dress Rehearsal Mission at the Kennedy Space Center, in Florida, as the Agency conducts the fueling test for the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.

The test will run the launch team through a full range of operations, including loading cryogenic liquid propellant into the SLS rocket’s tanks, conducting a launch countdown, demonstrating the ability to recycle the countdown clock, and draining the tanks to practice scrub procedures.
