The Artemis 2 rollback from Launch Complex 39B began at 9:38 a.m EST 10 minutes after the “go” from the launch director was given.

NASA said in a short update that “rolling from Launch Pad 39B to the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA Kennedy is expected to take up to 12 hours.”

“Once it arrives, technicians will establish platforms to diagnose the helium flow issue to the rocket’s upper stage and fix it.”
