NASA has moved the Artemis 2 rocket system, comprising the Space Launch System and Orion capsule, to Cape Canaveral's launch pad in preparation for the first crewed moon mission since 1972. The launch is now targeted for March, shifted from February due to issues during a wet dress rehearsal, including fueling interruptions and equipment problems.

The mission will not involve a landing but will test systems at about 7,400 kilometers from the moon. The complete mission duration may last up to 21 days. The earliest launch date is set for February 7, with a safety-first approach emphasized by NASA.
