Here is what the page “SpaceX Crew-12 Splashes Down in Pacific: NASA Astronauts Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, ESA’” contains. The SpaceX Crew Dragon Freedom capsule carrying NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California on Oct. 8, 2026, marking the successful conclusion of their long-duration mission aboard the International Space Station. The four crew members spent months conducting scientific research, technology demonstrations, and maintenance activities in low Earth orbit, contributing to ongoing international cooperation in space exploration.
Their return highlights the reliability of commercial crew transportation and the continued partnership between NASA, ESA, Roscosmos, and SpaceX. As the Crew Dragon Freedom was recovered by SpaceX teams, the astronauts began post-flight medical checks and reunions with their families.
