WASHINGTON — The four Artemis 2 astronauts arrived in Florida March 27 for final preparations ahead of a launch still scheduled as soon as April 1.
The astronauts arrived five days before the earliest launch opportunity for Artemis 2, a two-hour window that opens at 6:24 p.m. Eastern. There are additional two-hour windows daily through April 6.
NASA has provided limited updates on progress toward launch since the mobile platform carrying the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft returned to Launch Complex 39B March 20, following repairs in the Vehicle Assembly Building to restore the flow of helium into the upper stage.
