Expedition 74 began the week setting up pharmaceutical and exercise research hardware continuing ongoing studies to advance human health on and off the Earth. The orbital trio aboard the International Space Station also simulated a quick return to Earth scenario aboard the Soyuz spacecraft as NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 mission targets a new launch date.
NASA and SpaceX now are targeting no earlier than 5:38 a.m. EST, Thursday, Feb. 12, for launch of the Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Mission teams completed a weather review on Monday and elected to waive off a Wednesday, Feb. 11, launch opportunity due to forecast weather conditions along the flight path of the Dragon spacecraft. Weather will continue to be […]
