NASA to rollback Artemis II rocket
Digest more
The Artemis 2 human lunar mission around the moon could be back on track after NASA pulled off a successful fueling test of the SLS rocket.
Engineers were able to fully fuel NASA's Artemis II moon rocket without any signs of leaks like the ones that derailed an earlier dress rehearsal.
The second wet dress rehearsal for the Artemis II mission continues as teams power up the rocket’s core stage — which contains propellant tanks — and charge the Orion spacecraft’s flight batteries. Tomorrow, teams will practice fueling the rocket. https://t.co/R6CRW9PcdO pic.twitter.com/l80UhQ6hhn — NASA (@NASA) February 18, 2026
