NASA's SpaceX Crew-12 Set for February 11 Launch to ISS
NASA's SpaceX Crew-12 mission, comprising four astronauts from NASA, ESA, and Roscosmos, is scheduled to launch to the International Space Station on February 11, 2026, following a successful Flight Readiness Review.
NASA's SpaceX Crew-12 mission is scheduled to launch to the International Space Station (ISS) on February 11, 2026, at 6:01 a.m. EST from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The crew comprises NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev.
The four astronauts arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on February 6, 2026, and are currently in pre-flight quarantine. The mission received clearance to proceed following a Flight Readiness Review conducted by NASA, SpaceX, and international partners.
Crew-12 will travel aboard SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, propelled by a Falcon 9 rocket. The mission aims to restore the ISS crew to its standard seven-person complement, following the early return of Crew-11 in January due to a medical issue.
The crew is prepared for their upcoming mission, with Meir and Fedyaev having previous spaceflight experience, while Hathaway and Adenot are set for their first journey to space.
The launch is contingent on favorable weather conditions and the resolution of any technical issues that may arise prior to the scheduled date.
