Artemis II Looms, Forcing a Timetable Tangle with SpaceX's Crew-12 Launch
TL;DR Summary
NASA’s Artemis II lunar mission around the Moon is forcing a delicate scheduling dance with SpaceX’s Crew-12 ISS flight, with Crew-12 aimed for Feb. 11 from Cape Canaveral as Artemis 2 undergoes its wet-dress rehearsal Feb. 2–3. Artemis 2 could launch as early as Feb. 8, which would shrink the window before Crew-12’s earliest launch (Feb. 11) to five hours and could push Crew-12 to Feb. 13 or later if delays occur. Crew-12 astronauts Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, Sophie Adenot, and Andrey Fedyaev will fly SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Freedom to the ISS for about eight months.
