TL;DR

NASA and SpaceX moved the Crew-12 launch to Feb. 12 from Cape Canaveral to restore the ISS to a seven‑person crew, after the station operated with a three‑person skeleton crew since mid‑January following Crew‑11’s medical evacuation. The four astronauts—Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, Sophie Adenot and Andrey Fedyaev—are aiming for a Feb. 12 launch window of 5:38 a.m. ET, weather permitting, with Artemis‑2 activity also contributing to a busy Cape Canaveral schedule.
