    Orion helium leak no threat to Artemis II reentry, but will require redesign

    The Artemis II mission experienced a helium leak in its Orion spacecraft, which does not pose a threat to reentry but necessitates a redesign. NASA delayed a piloting demonstration to conduct additional propulsion system tests, citing the leak as a priority. The mission has otherwise proceeded largely on schedule despite other technical issues like the spacecraft's toilet system.
