NASA delays Artemis 2 after wet dress rehearsal
Posted: Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 10:32 AM ET (1532 GMT)
NASA is delaying the launch of the Artemis 2 mission to at least March after problems during a fueling test Monday. NASA said early Tuesday it would no longer pursue a launch in a February window that closes Feb. 11 after completing a wet dress rehearsal. During that test, NASA reported hydrogen leaks during fueling, and again in the final minutes of the practice countdown. There were other issues, some caused by unusually cold weather in Florida. The next launch opportunity for the mission is from March 6 to 11.
