Crew-12 Astronauts Splash Down in Pacific After 237-Day ISS Mission

NASA and SpaceX confirmed the safe return of the Crew-12 astronauts, including Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, Sophie Adenot, and Andrey Fedyaev, who splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off California on October 8, 2026. The four-person team completed a 237-day mission aboard the International Space Station, concluding with a deorbit burn and recovery by a ship. This marks the end of Expedition 74 for this crew, as they are replaced by Crew-13, which arrived earlier in October. The return concludes a period of significant spacewalks and scientific research, with Adenot setting a European record for the longest single spaceflight.

Crew-12 concludes record-setting ISS mission with Pacific splashdown

SpaceX Crew-12 astronauts returned to Earth on Oct. 8 after a nearly eight-month stay at the International Space Station. The crew, comprising Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, Sophie Adenot, and Andrey Fedyaev, undocked on Oct. 7 and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off California at 11:34 a.m. EDT. The mission included historic spacewalks and set a new European record for a single spaceflight duration.

ISS air-leak scare subsides as crews return from safe-haven

NASA briefly ordered five ISS crew members to evacuate to their SpaceX Crew Dragon after a suspected air leak on the Zvezda module, but reversed the safe-haven order about two hours later as engineers assessed the leak rate and potential fixes. Roscosmos said two leaks were detected but posed no immediate danger, and the crew remained aboard the station while NASA and Russia collaborate on a longer-term fix. The incident highlights ongoing safety protocol practices and comes amid discussions in Congress about extending the ISS’s life to 2032.

Crew-12 Brings ISS back to a full seven-member crew

Crew-12 arrived at the International Space Station on Valentine’s Day, restoring a full seven-person crew after Crew-11’s health emergency prompted an early return that left only one NASA astronaut aboard. The four newcomers—Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway (NASA), Sophie Adenot (ESA), and Andrey Fedyaev (Roscosmos)—joined Expedition 74, with NASA and SpaceX having accelerated the launch to minimize the lone astronaut’s workload; the agency credited its workforce for making the rapid mission possible.

Crew-12 arrives at ISS to restore full crew and kick off eight-month science run

Four new crew members—NASA’s Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA’s Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos’ Andrey Fedyaev—arrived at the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon, restoring the station to seven people after Crew-11 left early for a medical issue; Crew-12 will spend about eight months conducting experiments on food production, microgravity biology and other studies to advance future Moon and Mars missions.

Valentine’s Day Dock: SpaceX Crew-12 Arrives at ISS to bolster a skeleton crew

SpaceX’s Crew-12 astronauts docked the Dragon capsule with the International Space Station on Valentine’s Day, delivering four crewmembers—Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, Sophie Adenot, and Andrey Fedyaev—to a skeleton ISS crew after Crew-11’s medical evacuation left the station short-handed; they’ll join three other astronauts for an eight-month stay, with hatch opening expected around 5 p.m. EST after cargo transfer.

Artemis 2 photobombs SpaceX Crew-12 in Kennedy Space Center image

Space.com captured Artemis 2’s SLS/Orion looming behind SpaceX’s Crew-12 Dragon on the Kennedy Space Center pad, illustrating NASA’s upcoming 10-day lunar mission while Crew-12 heads to the ISS. Artemis 2’s launch has been delayed to early March after a hydrogen leak, and the Artemis 2 crew—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—will undertake a lunar flight, separate from Crew-12’s ISS mission.

Windy Weather Delays SpaceX Crew-12 Launch to the ISS

Weather along the ascent corridor has postponed NASA and SpaceX’s Crew-12 launch to the ISS, with liftoff now targeted for no earlier than Feb. 12 at 5:38 a.m. EST and backups through Feb. 17 as weather models are reevaluated; a recent Falcon 9 static-fire revealed a minor valve issue that was replaced, and a dry dress rehearsal went smoothly. If Crew-12 launches on Feb. 12, ULA’s Vulcan window would be stood down. If needed, additional launch options exist through Feb. 13–17, with docking around Feb. 14 and potential longer transit times considered in scheduling.

Crew-12 set to restore ISS crew after skeleton period

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.

SpaceX tests Falcon 9 engines in prep for Crew-12 ISS mission

SpaceX fired the Falcon 9's nine Merlin 1D engines for about 10 seconds in a static-fire test at Cape Canaveral's SLC-40 as NASA's Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA's Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos' Andrey Fedyaev prepare for the Crew-12 mission to the ISS aboard Crew Dragon Freedom, with launch-day rehearsals and a booster landing planned at Landing Zone 40 (booster tail number 1101).

FAA clears SpaceX to fly again as Crew-12 mission is slated for Feb 11

The FAA has cleared SpaceX’s Falcon 9 to return to flight after investigating an upper-stage anomaly, setting up the Crew-12 mission to the ISS for Feb. 11 from Cape Canaveral aboard the Crew Dragon ‘Freedom.’ Four astronauts—NASA’s Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, and ESA’s Sophie Adenot—will restore the station’s crew to seven after Crew-11’s medical evacuation; the final mishap report identifies a stage-2 engine ignition failure before the deorbit burn and SpaceX has implemented preventive measures before flight.
