NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 team is secure in their seats as the SpaceX crew closed the hatch to the Dragon spacecraft, with less than two hours remaining before liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The spacecraft previously flew NASA’s SpaceX Crew-4 and NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 mission, as well as Axiom Missions 2 and 3.
