NASA delays Artemis II launch due to near-freezing temperatures

NASA has postponed the first flight of the Artemis II spacecraft, the agency said on X.

“Due to weather conditions, we now plan to fuel the Artemis II rocket on Monday, Feb. 2, at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. With this adjustment, the earliest possible launch date is Sunday, Feb. 8. A launch date will be set after teams review the results of the wet dress rehearsal,” NASA said in a post.
