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.
As the Artemis II crew enters quarantine, NASA is navigating a narrow path to the moon. Biting Florida winds have forced the historic liftoff to 8 February at the earliest, with 6 and 7 February now officially ruled out.
