NASA delays critical Artemis 2 rocket fueling test due to below-freezing temperatures, launch no earlier than Feb. 8
NASA has been forced to delay a critical fueling test for its Artemis 2 moon rocket due to unusually cold weather forecasted to hit the Space Coast this weekend.
NASA is moving up a key test of its Artemis II rocket as unusually cold weather grips Central Florida, forcing officials to adjust schedules at Kennedy Space Center. The region is expecting sub-freezing temperatures arriving on Saturday night and Sunday morning.
The agency has bumped up the wet dress rehearsal to increase its chances of launching within the February window, but could an Arctic blast interfere?
