NASA Announces SpaceX Crew-12 Mission Briefing

NASA has scheduled a briefing for January 30 to discuss the upcoming SpaceX Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station (ISS).

This mission, part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, is planned to launch no earlier than February 15, 2026, from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The crew will include four astronauts: Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway from NASA, Sophie Adenot from the European Space Agency (ESA), and Andrey Fedyaev from Roscosmos.

They will travel to the ISS aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, launched by a Falcon 9 rocket.

The mission aims to conduct research and maintain the space station.

This will be the 12th crew rotation flight for the Crew Dragon and the first spaceflight for ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot.

The mission is noted for being the safest, most reliable, and cost-effective crew transport to the ISS.
