Cold temperatures inhibited the space shuttle Challenger’s infrastructure from working properly. NASA has set potential weather conditions that would stop Artemis II from launching as scheduled.

The Artemis II mission, which will send four astronauts around the moon, is currently on the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center. Like Challenger four decades ago, the rocket is facing freezing temperatures,

NASA’s 1986 Challenger mission was intended to inspire students to consider a future in space. The crew’s family is continuing their legacy.

NASA's iconic Discovery space shuttle, which launched dozens of times from Florida, may not be relocated to Houston for display.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman appeared to suggest that space shuttle Discovery may not be relocated to Houston's Johnson Space Center in Texas.

The Artemis II mission that will take a crew of astronauts around the moon and back to Earth is expected to launch no earlier than February 6, 2026.
