NASA and SpaceX teams completed the final major review – the Launch Readiness Review – for the agency’s Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station, with mission leaders polling “go” to proceed into the launch countdown pending weather along the ascent corridor. Liftoff remains targeted for no earlier than 5:15 a.m. EST Friday, Feb. 13, aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Weather at the launch site is 85% favorable, with cumulus clouds being the main concern. Teams continue to monitor elevated winds along the Atlantic Coast in Crew-12’s flight path which prompted earlier shits in the launch date from Feb. 11.
NASA astronauts Jessica Meir, commander, and Jack Hathaway, pilot, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Sophie Adenot and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev will fly aboard the Dragon to begin an eight-month crew rotation mission aboard the orbiting laboratory. The four remain in quarantine at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida since arriving on Feb. 6 at the launch site.
Crew-12 will be SpaceX’s 12th crew rotational flight to the space station and 13th crewed mission as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.
