“NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 Returns to Earth After Six-Month Science Mission on ISS” — what this page in the network covers. NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, along with ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, are wrapping up their stay on the International Space Station. The Crew-12 mission, which launched earlier this year, is scheduled to conclude in early October with a splashdown off the coast of Florida. During their time in orbit, the crew conducted dozens of experiments in biology, physics, and technology development aimed at improving life on Earth and enabling future deep-space exploration.
Their work included studies on how microgravity affects human health, plant growth, and advanced materials, contributing valuable data for NASA’s Artemis program and long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars. The return of Crew-12 marks another successful commercial crew rotation, highlighting the reliability of SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft and the ongoing international cooperation aboard the orbiting laboratory.
