TL;DR Summary
Crew 12—NASA’s Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, ESA’s Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos’ Andrey Fedyaev—are set to launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral and dock with the ISS on Thursday, replacing Crew 11 who returned early due to a medical issue. The addition will bring the station to seven crew members and restore two-person NASA spacewalk capability. The flight was moved up after Artemis II was delayed, with the crew in quarantine at the Kennedy Space Center during preflight preparations.
