NASA's Artemis 2 Moon mission has been delayed following a 'liquid hydrogen leak' discovered during a test run this week
NASA has set the official launch date for Artemis 2 as February 8, but several vital checks must be completed before then.
The O2O system could send more data to Earth than ever before, NASA says.
The buzz is building for NASA’s Artemis II mission that will send four astronauts on a 10-day voyage around the moon. The highly anticipated endeavor will be the first crewed moon-bound flight since the final Apollo mission way back in 1972.
NASA's Artemis II simulated launch is scheduled for tonight after Arctic weather forced the mission to be delayed. The first crewed Artemis mega moon rocket could still leave Earth as early as this weekend.
Already in quarantine to avoid germs, Commander Reid Wiseman and his crew will be the first people to launch to the moon since 1972. They will monitor the dress rehearsal from their Houston base before flying to Kennedy Space Center once the rocket is cleared for flight.
