“After overnight data showed an interruption in helium flow in the SLS interim cryogenic propulsion stage, teams are troubleshooting and preparing for a likely rollback to the VAB. This will almost assuredly impact the March launch window.” NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman posted this morning.
It looks like Artemis II is likely to slip past March. I assume NASA is targeting April 2026 as the earliest opportunity, though they’ve indicated that additional launch windows would be available if it slips beyond April.
SpaceX launched another batch of Starlink satellites tonight from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The Falcon 9 first stage, B1067, made another record-breaking flight, becoming the first booster to achieve 33 successful launches and landings!

The crew lifted off this morning at 5:15 a.m. ET from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The Falcon 9 first stage, B1101, completed its second flight and became the first booster to land at LZ-40, the brand-new landing zone constructed just a couple of hundred feet away from the launch mount.
Crew-12 NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev are on their way to the International Space Station.

Launch availability.
With the conclusion of the wet dress rehearsal, NASA announced that they are no longer aiming for a February launch window and are now looking at March for the earliest possible launch of Artemis II.

We had a wonderful opportunity to see NASA's SLS rocket at the pad today, as it prepares for an upcoming launch which is scheduled for no earlier than February 8th 🚀
The Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft are at Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
NASA is targeting Feb. 2 for the Wet Dress Rehearsal, a full fueling test and simulated countdown, ahead of the Artemis II mission. The earliest possible launch date is currently Feb. 8.

This rocket, paired with the Orion capsule, will carry NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen. Together, they will embark on an 10-day mission around the Moon and back, marking the first crewed lunar mission since Apollo.
Here it is! 🚀 This SLS rocket is on its way to Launch Complex 39B ahead of launch, which is currently scheduled for no earlier than February 6th.

Good morning from Kennedy Space Center!
NASA’s SLS rocket is making its way out of the Vehicle Assembly Building ahead of the upcoming Artemis II mission, which will send a crew of four around the Moon in a few weeks. Stay tuned for more photos.

NASA has provided a timeline for the launch windows of the upcoming Artemis II mission 👇
NASA confirmed this situation is not expected to impact the upcoming Artemis-II mission.
The mission, which launched on August 1st, 2025, was originally scheduled to conclude after a handoff with Crew 12 next month. To accommodate the early return, NASA is considering accelerating the launch of Crew-12, though no new date has been set.
NASA announced that Crew-11 will return early from the International Space Station due to a medical issue affecting one crew member, who is reported to be stable but needs further testing on Earth.

Thank you all for a wonderful 2025! 🚀 Here are a few of my favorite captures from the year.
Excited to see what the new year brings!
Honored to share my story with News 6. Four years ago, I didn’t know if I would ever walk again. Thank you to Orlando Health and everyone who helped me get here.

New Glenn's first stage, 'Never Tell Me the Odds,' is on its way back to Blue Origin's facility.
It's hard to capture the sheer size of this rocket. Absolutely incredible.
Reporting for Supercluster
Blue Origin teams are installing the lifting cap on the New Glenn booster in preparation for offloading it from the barge, after which it will be moved to the breakover fixture for a controlled transition to a horizontal orientation before the transporter positions itself beneath the vehicle.
NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS
Reporting for Supercluster
An incredible sight of the first New Glenn booster to successfully land! Named ‘Never Tell Me the Odds,’ it returns to Port Canaveral aboard the barge Jacklyn after a five-day journey.

After the successful launch and landing of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, the 189-ft first-stage booster stands tall on the barge Jacklyn as Jeff Bezos stands at its base.
What an exciting time to be alive!
