NASA Artemis II Rocket Rollout Set for March 20; April 1 Launch Target Holds

NASA is targeting no earlier than March 20 to roll the Artemis II rocket from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39B, after resolving a helium flow issue caused by a blocked seal. The April 1 launch window opens at 6:24 PM ET with six backup windows through April 6 and April 30. The 10-day mission will send astronauts Wiseman, Glover, Koch, and Hansen on the first crewed lunar flyby in over 50 years.
