A little while ago, SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Freedom spacecraft completed its Crew-12, or SpaceX Crew-12, mission for NASA with a successful splashdown. Aboard were astronauts Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, and Sophie Adenot, and cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, who had arrived at the International Space Station on February 14, 2026, as part of Expedition 74/75. The Crew-12 members completed SpaceX’s 12th regular crewed mission in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of California. The Crew Dragon had left the Station approximately 27 hours earlier.

A few hours ago, SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Grace spacecraft docked with the Harmony module of the International Space Station, completing the first part of its Crew-13 or SpaceX Crew-13 mission that began with its launch about 8 hours earlier. After checking that the pressure is properly balanced, the hatch will be opened to allow Jessica Watkins, Luke Delaney, Joshua Kutryk, and Sergey Teteryatnikov to enter the Station and start their mission.

A little while ago, cosmonauts Sergey Kud‑Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev and astronaut Chris Williams returned to Earth on the Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft, which landed in Kazakhstan. They had reached the International Space Station on November 27, 2025, as part of a normal crew rotation. The capsule landed on its side, an event that can occur due to reentry conditions, but the crew members suffered no injuries.

A few hours ago, the Soyuz MS-29 spacecraft was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, and, after a little more than three hours, reached the International Space Station with three new crew members on board. It docked with the Station’s Prichal module. The ultra-fast track was used, which halves the journey duration and is used whenever the Station’s position makes it possible.

A few hours ago, SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Freedom spacecraft docked with the Harmony module of the International Space Station, completing the first part of its Crew-12 or SpaceX Crew-12 mission that began with its launch about 34 hours earlier. After checking that the pressure gets properly balanced, the hatch will be opened to allow Andrey Fedyaev, Jack Hathaway, Jessica Meir, and Sophie Adenot to enter the Station and start their mission.
