Artemis 2 rollout pushed to March 20 after small fix at the pad
TL;DR Summary
NASA will roll the Artemis 2 Space Launch System rocket and Orion crew module back to Launch Complex 39B at Kennedy Space Center on March 20 after a one-day delay caused by a flight termination system electrical harness replacement. NASA still aims for an April 1 liftoff within a window of April 1–6, with astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian Jeremy Hansen aboard for a 10-day lunar mission that will help pave the way for Artemis 3 and beyond. The rollout from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the pad is expected to take about 12 hours via the crawler-transporter.
