BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – NASA has once again pushed back the planned launch of the SpaceX Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station.
NASA’s Crew-12 mission is now scheduled to take off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at 5:15 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 13, according to SpaceX.
Weather conditions forced NASA to push the launch back to Thursday, but it wasn’t immediately known why the liftoff was moved back another day.
NASA astronauts Jessica Meir, the Crew-12 commander, and Jack Hathaway, the pilot, will join mission specialists Sophie Adenot of the European Space Agency and Andrey Fedyaev of Roscosmos on the rocket for the 12th crewed SpaceX flight.

The upcoming launch comes after the hasty return and successful splashdown of Crew-11, who had their mission cut short this month in light of an unidentified astronaut’s non-specified medical issue.
News 6 will livestream the launch when it happens.
