Teams are troubleshooting an issue with a LAS (launch abort system) battery on the vehicle being outside the acceptable range. If unresolved, this could trigger an abort criteria closer to launch. The range remains green and the timeline is progressing towards Artemis 2.

Europe keeps a close eye on the countdown to the Artemis II launch too.

At European Space Agency's facilities in the Netherlands, teams from the European Service Module are already on console for the 10-day mission.

All systems are GO from the Eagle room, Europe’s mission evaluation hub.

Artemis II update from NASA summarised:
• Vehicle successfully configured for flight
• Issue with battery won't affect launch
• Weather is 90% go for launch

NASA has not set a new T-0 but the Artemis II mission will not launch at 6:24 pm ET today. “A little more work” to do.
