NASA and SpaceX groups accomplished the ultimate main evaluation – the Launch Readiness Evaluate – for the company’s Crew-12 mission to the Worldwide Area Station, with mission leaders polling “go” to proceed into the launch countdown pending climate alongside the ascent hall. Liftoff stays focused for no sooner than 5:15 a.m. EST Friday, Feb. 13, aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket from Area Launch Complicated 40 at Cape Canaveral Area Drive Station in Florida. Climate on the launch website is 85% favorable, with cumulus clouds being the primary concern. Groups proceed to observe elevated winds alongside the Atlantic Coast in Crew-12’s flight path which prompted earlier shits within the launch date from Feb. 11.
NASA astronauts Jessica Meir, commander, and Jack Hathaway, pilot, ESA (European Area Company) astronaut Sophie Adenot and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev will fly aboard the Dragon to start an eight-month crew rotation mission aboard the orbiting laboratory. The 4 stay in quarantine at NASA’s Kennedy Area Heart in Florida since arriving on Feb. 6 on the launch website.
Crew-12 will likely be SpaceX’s twelfth crew rotational flight to the area station and thirteenth crewed mission as a part of NASA’s Industrial Crew Program.
