NASA Targets March For First Moon Mission By Artemis Astronauts After Fueling Test Success – KXL

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA aims to send astronauts to the moon in March after acing the latest rocket fueling test.

Administrator Jared Isaacman says launch teams made “major progress” between the first countdown rehearsal that was disrupted by hydrogen leaks earlier this month and the second test that was completed without significant seepage Thursday night.

NASA could launch four astronauts on the Artemis II mission as soon as March 6.

To keep their options open, the three Americans and one Canadian plan to go into a two-week health quarantine Friday night.
