TLDR

NASA is addressing a helium flow issue with the Artemis II rocket's upper stage, potentially rolling it back to the Vehicle Assembly Building for troubleshooting. This issue arose during normal operations after a wet dress rehearsal, and teams are reviewing data to determine the cause. A rollback could delay the March launch, but NASA aims to preserve the April launch window if necessary.
