NASA's Artemis 1 final prelaunch test delayed until March
The final prelaunch test of Artemis I, an uncrewed mission serving as the first step of NASA's ambitious program to return humans to the moon, has been delayed until March, according to the agency.
NASA will share more details during a press conference at 12 p.m. ET, which will stream live on the agency's website.
The mission's Space Launch System rocket, NASA's most powerful one yet, will be topped by the Orion spacecraft when it rolls out to Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida next month for testing. This test, called the wet dress rehearsal, was originally scheduled for mid-February.
The wet dress rehearsal includes running through the full set of operations to load propellant into the fuel tanks and a launch countdown -- basically everything necessary for a launch without actually launching.
