The Ares I-X Launch Vehicle Readiness Test, or LVRT, began this morning in High Bay 3 of Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building. The process is a combined electrical and mechanical check of the rocket’s systems. On Thursday, the vehicle will be sealed for thermal testing. This week's checkouts mark the next step in preparing the rocket for rollout to Launch Pad 39B on Oct. 19.
