After completing a second “wet dress rehearsal” of its upcoming moon mission, NASA said it is targeting a March 6 launch date for Artemis II
NASA released a scathing report blasting the agency and Boeing for the failed Starliner mission. Another 2025 report came to a different conclusion.
The agency held a press briefing to discuss the results of the redo wet dress rehearsal at 11 a.m. ET on Friday. During the briefing, Artemis launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson said the leak repairs proved to be “rock solid” and that there was “really no leakage to speak of.”
NASA’s first crewed moon mission in decades was delayed as its engineers grapple with an all-too-familiar rocket problem: hydrogen leaks. Fixing the issue is even trickier than it may seem.
