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.
The four crew members of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 mission began their routine two-week quarantine on Wednesday at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston ahead of their upcoming launch to the International Space Station.
Crew-12 will fly to the orbiting laboratory aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, launched on a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. NASA says it is reviewing options to move the launch earlier than its original target date of Sunday, Feb. 15.
