SLS Core Stage tanking test is first Green Run moment of truth for NASASpace Launch System (SLS) Core Stage prime contractor Boeing plans to conduct a critical propellant loading and countdown demonstration test December 7 with the Artemis 1 flight article in the B-2 Test Stand at NASA’s Stennis Space Center in southern Mississippi. As the name implies, the Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR) is a full rehearsal of the countdown for the final test, an eight-minute long Hot-Fire of the Core Stage. The WDR is the penultimate test in the eight-test Core Stage Green Run design verification campaign. It will mark the very first time cryogenic propellants are loaded into any working article of the rocket stage. The first-ever propellant loading will also verify the leak-integrity of different parts of the stage’s main propulsion system at different points in the test.
