NASA Will Fuel up Its Artemis 2 Moon Rocket for the 2nd Time on Feb. 19. Will It Leak Again?

NASA is set to conduct a second wet‑dress rehearsal of the Space Launch System for Artemis 2 on Feb 19, loading over 700,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and oxygen. The first rehearsal was halted by an LH₂ leak at the tail service mast umbilical, prompting seal replacements and a filter fix. A confidence test on Feb 12 showed partial fill success despite ground‑support equipment issues, and the team now feels ready for the full countdown simulation. If the test proceeds without further leaks, Artemis 2 could launch as early as March 6.
