Artemis 2 set for second fueling as NASA eyes March moon mission
NASA plans a second wet dress rehearsal for Artemis 2, fueling the Space Launch System with LH2 and LOX on Feb. 19 after fixes for a hydrogen leak seen during the first rehearsal. The leak, traced to an interface at the tail service mast umbilical, prompted seal replacements and a confidence test, with further corrections to ground-support equipment. If all goes well, Artemis 2 could launch as early as March 6 on a 10-day crewed lunar flight, advancing NASA’s Artemis program toward future Moon landings.
