With the wet dress rehearsal, essentially a critical fueling test of the Artemis 2 Space Launch System moon rocket, now back on Feb. 2, NASA said in a statement that it can no longer target Feb. 6 or Feb. 7, the first two days of its launch window. The Artemis 2 launch window originally ran from Feb. 6 to Feb. 10.

NASA's Artemis 2, the 1st crewed flight to the moon in 5 decades, could launch as early as Feb. 6. First, the rocket will need to ace a fueling test.

NASA's launch window in February is getting smaller.

Shortly after NASA’s Artemis II SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft arrived to Launch Pad 39B at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Jan. 17, engineers began preparations for an upcoming wet dress rehearsal,

The agency has bumped up the wet dress rehearsal to increase its chances of launching within the February window, but could an Arctic blast interfere?
