NASA's Artemis II wet dress rehearsal faced setbacks today with two interruptions from a liquid hydrogen leak exceeding limits on the SLS rocket's core stage. LOX loading proceeded normally during the key pre-launch test simulating countdown operations.

With the wet dress rehearsal, essentially a critical fueling test of the Artemis 2 Space Launch System moon rocket, now back on Feb. 2, NASA said in a statement that it can no longer target Feb. 6 or Feb. 7, the first two days of its launch window. The Artemis 2 launch window originally ran from Feb. 6 to Feb. 10.

Artemis 2 could launch as early as this coming weekend. If it does, the 10-day mission will have to compete with the Olympics and Super Bowl for media attention.

NASA is providing a 24/7 live feed of the Space Launch System rocket on the launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
