NASA's SpaceX Crew-12 mission, consisting of NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, is wrapping up its stay aboard the International Space Station. The crew is scheduled to return to Earth in early October 2026 after supporting research intended to benefit life on Earth and prepare for future deep-space missions. The mission's conclusion comes as NASA simultaneously launches its next ISS crew rotation, Crew-13, continuing the agency's ongoing cadence of commercial crew missions to the station.
