NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 arrived at Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida to board their SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.
Today’s mission is the second crewed launch from pad 40. NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 was the first in September 2024. The first rocket launch from the pad was a Titan IIIC in June 1965.
Before entering the spacecraft, all four crew members will continue the tradition of signing their names on the White Room wall, before completing final prelaunch operations.
NASA’s live launch coverage begins at 3:15 a.m. EST on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and the agency’s YouTube channel. Learn how to stream NASA content through a variety of online platforms, including social media.
