NASA and SpaceX teams are continuing final\u00a0preparations on Thursday\u00a0as the four crew members of Crew-12 follow their own precise checklist of activities before they launch\u00a0to the International Space Station. Crew-12 is set to lift off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 5:15 a.m. EST Friday, Feb. 13, aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket.<\/p>\n

Weather forecasters issued an improved outlook for the launch site conditions, with a 90% chance of acceptable weather\u00a0at launch time. They also\u00a0will be watching the weather conditions\u00a0along Crew-12\u2019s flight path throughout the countdown, specifically the potential for elevated wind speeds. After detailed weather briefings Thursday morning, forecasters and mission managers opted to continue into the Crew-12 launch countdown. They will again review the forecast around 10 p.m. Thursday, a few hours before the crew suits up.<\/p>\n

NASA astronauts Jessica Meir, commander, and Jack Hathaway, pilot, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev will fly aboard the Dragon spacecraft to begin an eight-month rotation aboard the space station, where they will conduct a host of experiments. They will return the orbiting laboratory to its full crew complement of seven crew members\u00a0following the return of Crew-11 in January.<\/p>\n

Crew-12 will be SpaceX\u2019s 12th crew rotational flight to the space station\u00a0and 13th crewed mission as part of NASA\u2019s Commercial Crew Program.<\/p>\n
