NASA Sets Coverage for SpaceX Crew-12 Launch and Space Station Docking

NASA has announced live coverage plans for the upcoming SpaceX Crew-12 mission, which will send four astronauts to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.

Liftoff is scheduled for no earlier than 6:01 a.m. EST on Wednesday, Feb. 11, from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Docking with the space station is targeted for approximately 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 12.

The mission will carry NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev to the orbiting laboratory for a long-duration science expedition.

NASA will stream launch, rendezvous, and docking coverage on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and the agency’s YouTube channel, with launch coverage beginning at 4 a.m. EST on launch day.

Crew-12 marks NASA’s 12th operational crew rotation mission and the 13th human spaceflight supported by SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft since 2020, under the agency’s Commercial Crew Program.

NASA said all mission timelines remain subject to change based on real-time operations.
