The Orion capsule's heat shield had issues during the uncrewed Artemis 1 moon mission in late 2022. Here are the steps NASA has taken to prevent them from recurring on Artemis 2.
NASA's Artemis 2 mission, which will send four astronauts on a journey around the moon, can launch on just 11 days in March and April combined. Why are there so few opportunities to fly?
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman took Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for a ride over the Artemis 2 launch pad recently.
NASA stopped short of completing a critical fuel test for its Artemis 2 SLS rocket because of hydrogen leaks that sound a lot like the problems they had during Artemis 1.
NASA has delayed its Artemis 2 moon launch until March at the earliest, after encountering some issues during a key prelaunch exercise known as a wet dress rehearsal.
NASA fully fueled its Artemis 2 moon rocket during a crucial test today (Feb. 2) but had to pause the operation twice due to leaks. Will the agency still try to launch on Feb. 8?
