Controllers, though, stopped liquid hydrogen loading again after detecting a leak in an umbilical line connecting the core stage to the tail service mast on the launch platform. At that point the core stage’s liquid oxygen tank was 49% full but the liquid hydrogen tank only 5% full.NASA effectively scrubbed the test around 4 p.m. Eastern when it announced it would not continue filling the core stage tanks and instead focus on chilling down propellant lines in the SLS’s upper stage. NASA managers previously decided not to fill the tanks on that upper stage in this test because of a faulty helium check valve in the stage.It was not immediately clear when NASA would try again to complete the wet dress rehearsal of the SLS. NASA said only it would not proceed with the terminal stage of the countdown and instead “will assess next steps after today’s operations.”
