The Artemis I mega moon rocket has been fully fuelled for the first time.
The fourth attempt of a final prelaunch test started on Saturday and the rocket tanks were filled on Monday.. The crucial test, known as the wet dress rehearsal, simulates every stage of launch without the rocket leaving the launchpad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Three previous attempts at the rehearsal in April were unsuccessful, concluding before the rocket could be fully loaded with propellant due to various leaks. These have since been corrected, NASA says.
