NASA Delays Artemis II "Wet Dress Rehearsal" Due to Freezing Temperatures

NASA postponed the start of critical fuel testing for the Artemis II mission, which aims to send four astronauts around the moon, due to freezing temperatures at the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, according to NPR News on February 1, 2026. The fueling phase of prelaunch testing, known as a "wet dress rehearsal," was set to begin on Monday.

The "wet dress rehearsal" is a crucial step in preparing the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft for the Artemis II mission, NPR News reported. The test involves fueling the spacecraft and running through pre-launch procedures to ensure all systems are functioning correctly.

The Artemis II mission is a significant step in NASA's plans for lunar exploration. The mission will send astronauts around the moon, paving the way for future missions to land on the lunar surface.
