NASA and SpaceX teams gave a “go” to launch Crew-12 at 5:15 a.m. EST on Friday, Feb.13, on its mission to the International Space Station following a final weather briefing before flight controllers move to their consoles. NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Sophie Adenot and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev will launch aboard a SpaceX SpaceX Dragon spacecraft on a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The crew will suit up in a few hours at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Once aboard the orbiting laboratory, they will bring the station’s complement back up to seven people and will conduct a host of research.
