NASA cancels March launch for crewed moon mission due to technical issues

NASA’s Artemis 2 mission, the first crewed lunar flyby in over 50 years, has been delayed due to technical issues with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, affecting its March launch window. Solid helium flow problems were identified, essential for engine purging and fuel tank pressurization. The mission aims to pave the way for Artemis 3, slated for a moon landing in 2028, and includes astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen.
