NASA's huge Space Launch System rocket has been repaired and is ready for rollout back to the launch pad next week.
An update is coming today on NASA's Artemis 2 lunar mission to launch four astronauts on a historic journey around the moon.
NASA has finished a crucial step toward getting its Artemis II moon mission off the ground, and is now targeting early April to send four astronauts on an unprecedented path.
After postponing launch opportunities in February and March, the agency determined that four astronauts could proceed toward the first crewed lunar journey in more than 50 years.
A six-day launch window opens on April 1 from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The lunar orbital mission would be the first time humans have returned to the moon since Apollo 17 in 1972.
NASA has completed the Artemis 2 flight readiness review and plans to launch the historic moon mission as soon as April 1.
