1850 GMT (1:50 p.m. EST)
The Ariane 5 rocket's first and second stages, known by the French acronyms EPC and ESC-A, have been filled with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. The first stage Vulcain 2 engine and the upper stage HM7B engine both consume the super-cold propellants.
The cryogenic propellant will be gradually pumped inside the rocket to maintain proper levels as the fuel evaporates over the rest of the countdown.
 
Can't get the webcast on an iPhone 6 plus. It's just a blank page. :-(. I hope someone puts it on YouTube later
