NASA's SpaceX Crew-12 Dragon Spacecraft Departure | International Space Station

NASA's SpaceX Crew-12 Dragon Spacecraft Departure | International Space Station

At 8:05 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on October 7, 2026, NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev of Russia undocked from the space-facing port of the International Space Station’s Harmony module aboard their SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.

At 11:34 a.m. EDT (8:34 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time) on October 8, 2026, the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft successfully splashed down off the coast of Los Angeles, California.

This completed 237 days at the International Space Station for the four-person crew. Meir has logged 440 total days in space, placing her in NASA’s Top 10 for cumulative days in space. The Crew-12 mission was the first time Hathaway and Adenot had been to space, while it was the second time for Fedyaev. The crew also conducted four spacewalks during their nearly eight-month mission.
