TL;DR

NASA says Artemis II is back on track for an April launch after engineers fixed a helium-flow issue caused by a dislodged seal in the Space Launch System’s upper stage. The four-astronaut mission will fly a lunar loop to test systems ahead of crewed lunar landings planned for 2028, with launch windows in early to mid-April and again at month’s end as technicians continue nearby repairs at Kennedy Space Center.
