TL;DR Summary

NASA plans a second wet dress rehearsal for Artemis 2's Space Launch System (SLS) on Feb. 19 after the initial fueling test on Feb. 2–3 was halted by a liquid hydrogen leak; teams will again load more than 730,000 gallons of LH2/LOX at Kennedy Space Center's Pad 39B and rehearse the countdown, fueling, and scrubs ahead of a potential March launch for four astronauts around the Moon.
