NASA is targeting March for the launch of four astronauts on a ten-day mission to circle the moon and return safely to Earth, traveling farther than any humans have traveled in deep space.

NASA pushed its Artemis II mission to March after wrapping up a launch rehearsal that uncovered issues with the massive Space Launch System rocket's fueling process, the latest delay for the mission to fly four astronauts around the moon and back.

NASA will forego a February launch for its Artemis II mission after engineers ran into leaks, cold-weather delays, and equipment problems during a key fueling test that ended early Tuesday morning. The fuel-loading problems were reminiscent of the challenges the space agency faced in 2022 when it attempted to launch Artemis I,

Four astronauts preparing for an extended stay in space have started quarantine as they get ready for their next big mission. The Crew-12 team entered a two-week isolation period Jan. 28 at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

NASA plans an on-pad repair of the fuel leak that derailed an overnight dress rehearsal countdown for the agency's huge Artemis II rocket. The agency then plans a second fueling test before making another attempt in March to launch four astronauts on a historic flight around the moon.

Teams have stopped the flow of liquid hydrogen after leak concentrations exceeded allowable limits, and engineers are troubleshooting the issue, NASA said in a statement on its website. The earliest opportunity to launch is Feb.

NASA had been targeting Feb. 8 for the launch of its Artemis 2 mission, which will send four astronauts on a 10-day trip around the moon and back to Earth. But the agency just mov

NASA says it can't try until March at the earliest to send a crewed spacecraft on a flight around the moon and back, due to hydrogen leaks during testing of the Artemis II rocket.
