Posted: Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 9:45 AM ET (1445 GMT)
Roscosmos has replaced the cosmonaut assigned to the next commercial crew mission to the International Space Station. Roscosmos said this week that Andrey Fedyaev would take the place of Oleg Artemyev on the upcoming Crew-12 mission, set to launch as soon as mid-February. Roscosmos said only that Artemyev, a veteran astronaut who has flown three previous ISS missions, had been transferred to “another job.” NASA deferred questions on the reassignment to Roscosmos. Russian media reported that Artemyev had taken images of SpaceX hardware and documentation during Crew Dragon training, which would violate ITAR export control regulations.
