The Crew-12 mission, launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida, includes NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, French astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Russian cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, who will conduct research to prepare for human exploration beyond Earth's orbit.
During their 8-month mission, the crew will focus on enhancing food production in space and replacing the crew from NASA's Crew-11 mission, which departed the ISS a month ahead of schedule due to a medical evacuation, as stated by NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman.
The successful docking of Crew-12 marks a significant step towards future missions, including the 10-day Artemis II mission, slated to launch as soon as March, which will send a crew of four astronauts around the moon, according to NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman.
