An issue with the SLS rocket’s helium pressurization system is prompting the move. It can only be worked on while inside NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building.
-
NASA says an "interrupted flow" of helium to the rocket system could require a rollback to the Vehicle Assembly Building. If it happens, NASA says the launch to the moon would be delayed until April.
