NASA readies Artemis II for second hydrogen fueling test to curb leaks
TL;DR Summary
NASA is conducting Artemis II's second wet dress rehearsal fueling at Kennedy Space Center to test cryogenic loading and prevent hydrogen leaks seen in the first test. Ground teams will load roughly 730,000 gallons of LH2 and LOX, with a go/no-go poll around 9:50 a.m. EST and fueling lasting into the afternoon; a successful test keeps Artemis II on track for a potential March 6 liftoff window.
