NASA is rolling back its Space Launch System rocket to the hangar for repairs, delaying the Artemis II mission, which aims to send four astronauts on a lunar flight.

The rollback, expected to take up to 12 hours, will allow teams to address the helium issue and replace batteries in the rocket’s safety systems, pushing the launch attempt to potentially April.
