NASA aims to send astronauts to the moon in March after acing the latest rocket fueling test
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA aims to send astronauts to the moon in March after acing the latest rocket fueling test.
Administrator Jared Isaacman said Friday that launch teams made “major progress” between the first countdown rehearsal, which was disrupted by hydrogen leaks earlier this month, and the second test, which was completed without significant seepage Thursday night.
The test was “a big step toward America’s return to the lunar environment," Isaacman said on the social media platform X.
NASA could launch four astronauts on the Artemis II lunar fly-around as soon as March 6 from Florida's Kennedy Space Center. To keep their options open, the three Americans and one Canadian plan to go into the mandatory two-week health quarantine Friday night.
The space agency has only five days in March to launch the crew aboard the Space Launch System rocket, before standing down until April. February's opportunities evaporated after dangerous amounts of liquid hydrogen leaked during the first fueling demonstration.
