Crew-12 launches to ISS
Posted: Sun, Feb 15, 2026, 10:57 AM ET (1557 GMT)
A new crew launched to the International Space Station Friday. A Falcon 9 lifted off at 5:15 am EST (1015 GMT) from Cape Canaveral’s Space Launch Complex 40, placing a Crew Dragon spacecraft into orbit on the Crew-12 mission. The Dragon docked with the ISS Saturday at 3:15 pm EST (2015 GMT), delivering astronauts from NASA, ESA and Roscosmos for an eight-month mission. The launch was just the second crewed mission to use SLC-40 as SpaceX moves all Falcon launches, including Dragon missions, there from Launch Complex 39A. Crew-12 also kicks off a busy schedule of arriving and departing vehicles at the station that include cargo Dragon, HTV-X, Cygnus and Progress spacecraft, as well as potentially another uncrewed Starliner test flight.
