NASA announced that tests of the Shuttle's main propulsion system would resume about December 14. A November 4 test stopped when a sensor detected overpressure in a turbopump and rupture of a hydrogen line damaged one of the engines. Upcoming tests would use a stub nozzle like those used in successful ground tests conducted since April 1978; other tests with flight nozzles would be scheduled later. (NASA Release 79-153)
