A wet dress rehearsal was moved from Jan. 31 to Feb. 2, 2026, because of cold weather and winds moving through Florida. The extreme temperatures would violate strict weather constraints for fueling and other operations. A confirmed launch date will be decided based on the result of the wet dress rehearsal.

Humanity’s long-awaited return to the moon has been delayed – again – by NASA.

The American space agency revealed this morning that a fuel leak happened during the trial run of its Artemis II mission.

It added on X: ‘To allow teams to review data and conduct a second wet dress rehearsal, NASA will now target March as the the earliest possible launch opportunity for the Artemis II mission.’
