SpaceX Crew-12 is planned to be the twelfth operational NASA Commercial Crew Program flight and the 20th crewed orbital flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft. The mission will transport up to four crew members – NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev — to the International Space Station (ISS). The mission is planned to launch no earlier than February 11, 2026.
Crew
| Position[1][2][3] | Crew | |

| Commander | Jessica Meir, NASA Expedition 74/75 Second spaceflight | |
| Pilot | Jack Hathaway, NASA Expedition 74/75 First spaceflight | |

| Mission specialist | Andrey Fedyaev, Roscosmos Expedition 74/75 Second spaceflight | |
In December 2025, two and a half months before the launch, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev was abruptly removed from the Crew-12 mission, with Roscosmos officially citing his "transition to other work". However, investigative news site The Insider reported that Artemyev was expelled from the United States after being accused of violating International Traffic in Arms Regulations by photographing SpaceX engines, documents, and other technologies with his phone and then "exporting" that information. The alleged violation occurred at SpaceX's facility in Hawthorne, California, in late November and prompted an inter-agency investigation. Artemyev was replaced by cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, who will become the first Russian to fly twice on Crew Dragon, reducing the amount of training required.[4][5]
Mission
The 12th SpaceX operational mission in the Commercial Crew Program is scheduled for launch no earlier than February 11, 2026. Following the early return of the Crew-11 mission to Earth on January 15, 2026—prompted by a medical issue affecting one of its crew members—NASA and SpaceX assessed options to potentially advance the Crew-12 launch date. This would minimize the duration that the International Space Station operates with a reduced crew complement.[6][7]
Epsilon
On June 20, 2025, Josef Aschbacher shared that ESA's portion of the Crew-12 mission—astronaut Sophie Adenot's assignment—will be called Epsilon. This will be Adenot's first trip to space. She was chosen in the 2022 European Space Agency Astronaut Group and will be the first career astronaut from that class to fly.[lower-alpha 1] Stylized with a lowercase epsilon ("ε") in place of the "E" to symbolize a "small, yet impactful" variable to the "collaborative effort of space exploration". The mission patch also includes a hummingbird, highlighting how even the tiniest creatures play an important role in nature—tying back to the idea that every contribution matters.[8]
Notes
- ↑ The 2022 class is split into "career astronauts", who train for multiple long-duration missions and "project astronauts" who fly on single, short-duration mission. Two project astronauts from the class have flown on Axiom Space missions: Marcus Wandt on Ax-3 and Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski on Ax-4.
