Crew-12 Launch

Haere rā, Crew-12! Four astronauts as part of the Crew-12 mission successfully launched from Cape Canaveral on 13 February, arriving at the International Space Station a day later on Valentine’s Day. The crew consists of American astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, France’s Sophie Adenot, and cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, who will spend the next six months aboard the orbiting laboratory. The launch was brought forward by a few weeks after the previous crew rotation, Crew-11, had to leave the station a month early due to a medical evacuation.
