The launch window for the Artemis II starts at 6:24 p.m. EDT Wednesday, April 1 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and shuts at 8:24 p.m. EDT, two hours later.
If the launch is delayed further for any reason, the next chance for a launch would be a two-hour window beginning at 7:22 p.m. EDT Thursday.
