Launch attempts of Columbia and of Atlantis were scrubbed after Hydrogen leaks were discovered on the Craft. Those leaks forced the space Agency to ground the shuttle Fleet until engineers found its source and corrected the problem. Lenoir said that tests on a plumbing connection removed from Columbia have determined that its leak came from seals near its two valves. The plumbing connection called an umbilical was replaced with new hardware from endeavour a space shuttle now being built. Tests showed that the leak on Atlantis was not in the valve seals but was in another place in the Maze of pipes that carry liquid Hydrogen Lenoir said. This Means he said that the leaks were from two separate problems and did not indicate a design or manufacturing weakness in the shuttle system.
