NASA, SpaceX Target Friday for Crew-12 Launch Due to Weather

NASA and SpaceX are now targeting no earlier than 5:15 a.m. EST Friday, Feb. 13, for the Crew-12 launch to the International Space Station from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Mission teams completed a weather review Tuesday morning and waived off the Thursday, Feb.

12, launch opportunity because of forecast conditions along Crew-12’s flight path. NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev remain in quarantine at Kennedy Space Center until the next launch opportunity.

Crew-12 will lift off aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft on a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40. Watch launch coverage starting at 3:15 a.m. on NASA+, Amazon Prime and the agency’s YouTube channel. If Crew-12 launches on Feb. 13, it would arrive at the space station at approximately 3:15 p.m.
