NASA Moon mission launch srubbed to March after test
Wednesday, 04 February 2026 15:09
Washington, United States (AFP) Feb 3, 2026
NASA said Tuesday it's delaying until March the launch of its first crewed flyby mission to the Moon in more than 50 years, after encountering leaks during final tests.
The mishaps during a run-through that the US space agency calls a "wet dress rehearsal" dashed hopes that the mission around the Moon could launch as soon as Sunday. The next possible launch window now opens March 6.
