The second time's the charm for shuttle engineers. Last month's shuttle fuel tank test revealed faulty hydrogen sensors (fuel gauges). But this recent test showed they must have been merely "poorly connected" in last month's test, resulting in intermittent readings.
According to a May, 21, story at SpaceDaily.com:
"Everything went without a hitch this time," said space shuttle program manager Bill Parsons. "Nothing we saw today should prevent a launch July 13."
Thanks for the update Parsons, but for God's sake don't jinx yourself!
