The first Artemis moonshot with a crew is now targeted for no earlier than Feb. 8, two days later than planned.

Before NASA can decide a rocket launch date for Artemis 2, the giant SLS rocket has to ace a critical fueling test known as a wet dress rehearsal.

NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch and Victor Glover and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen could launch on a trip around the moon as early as Feb. 8, traveling farther from Earth than humanity has ever gone before.

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.

NASA is providing a 24/7 live feed of the Space Launch System rocket on the launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

NASA's Artemis II mission looks to be as little as a couple of weeks away. The middle child of the three-part Artemis project, this mission will allow humans to swing by the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years. It also hopes to pave the way for even more ambitious missions in the future.

SpaceX launch date of Crew-12 astronauts to the International Space Station will depend on the outcome of the Artemis 2 wet dress rehearsal and launch attempts.

China’s program is centrally directed and tightly controlled by the state, while the U.S. approach is intentionally open and designed so partners can operate within a shared framework.

For months, the Artemis II crew and flight controllers have been simulating malfunctions to prepare for their upcoming trip around the Moon.
