NASA Conducts Full Wet Dress Rehearsal for Artemis II Lunar Mission

NASA has completed a full wet dress rehearsal for the Artemis II mission, the agency’s upcoming crewed lunar flight. Engineers fueled the Space Launch System rocket and ran through countdown procedures at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The exercise allows teams to test all systems under launch conditions, helping ensure the spacecraft, rocket, and ground operations are fully prepared for liftoff. This milestone brings Artemis II one step closer to sending astronauts around the Moon.
