NASA successfully completes the general rehearsal for the Artemis II mission, preparing for the first crewed mission around the Moon in 50 years.

NASA has announced the completion of the general test for the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, which will transport astronauts around the Moon as part of the Artemis 2 mission, the first such mission in over 50 years.

This was the second test conducted, after the first was cut short due to technical issues. The recent test took place at Cape Canaveral in Florida, where engineers filled the rocket's tanks and performed technical checks, rehearsing the maneuvers necessary for launch day. Previous issues, including a liquid hydrogen leak, led to the postponement of the launch, which is now estimated for March 6. NASA emphasized that the liquid hydrogen fueling went smoothly, considering this an "important progress." A press conference will provide additional details about the test and the estimated launch date.
