NASA delays critical Artemis 2 rocket fueling test due to below-freezing temperatures, launch no earlier than Feb. 8
NASA has been forced to delay a critical fueling test for its Artemis 2 moon rocket due to unusually cold weather forecasted to hit the Space Coast this weekend.
Frigid temperatures have delayed NASA's preparations for its wet dress rehearsal for the Artemis II launch, the space agency announced Friday.
NASA has pushed back the February launch of Artemis 2 to March after ending a critical fuel test early Tuesday morning, which was complicated by a liquid hydrogen leak and cold temperatures due to the rare Arctic outbreak that has gripped Florida.
