NASAs SpaceX Crew-12 Launches
NASA's SpaceX Crew-12 mission lifted off at 5:15 a.m. EST from Space Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, are experiencing 2 g as SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket go through a rapid series of events.
The spacecraft will take about 34 hours to autonomously dock with the space station's Harmony module at 3:15 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 14, while traveling 17,000 mph in Earth orbit.
Up next, the nine Merlin engines on Falcon 9's first stage will burn through one million pounds of propellant during the next three minutes.
Live coverage of the Crew-12 broadcast is airing on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and the agency's YouTube channel. Learn how to watch NASA content through a variety of online platforms, including social media.
