NASA Announces Briefings for SpaceX Crew-12 Mission to the International Space Station
The US space agency will hold a pair of news conferences on January 30th to discuss its upcoming crew rotation mission to the International Space Station, dubbed Crew-12. The first briefing, scheduled for 11am EST, will focus on final launch preparations and will be streamed live on NASA's YouTube channel.
Following that, at 1pm EST, the crew members of SpaceX's Crew-12 mission - including astronauts Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, Sophie Adenot, and cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev - will participate in a virtual news conference. The event will also be broadcast on NASA's YouTube channel.
Crew-12 is set to launch aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft on the company's Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The mission aims to carry NASA astronauts Meir and Hathaway, along with ESA astronaut Adenot and Roscosmos cosmonaut Fedyaev, to the orbiting laboratory.
According to NASA officials, this will be the crew's second long-duration stay aboard the ISS. The mission is seen as an important step forward in advancing the launch of Crew-12 from its original target date of February 15th.
Representatives from NASA and SpaceX are scheduled to participate in both briefings, along with other experts involved in the mission. Details about the event can be found on NASA's website, including information on how to join by phone or attend in person at the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

I'm kinda worried about this crew rotation thingy... I mean, don't get me wrong, it's super cool that we're gonna see these astronauts and cosmonauts up close and all 
but what if something goes awry? Like, what if the Dragon spacecraft has some issues and can't make it to space on time? 
I've been following this for a while now and I know NASA's trying their best but... we should be prepared for anything, right? 
Maybe they're just being extra cautious or maybe there's more going on that we don't know about 
This is gonna be a big deal for space exploration and it's awesome that we get to see these astronauts up close and personal. I've been following the whole NASA thing for years, and it's crazy to think about how far they've come. The idea of having humans living on the ISS for extended periods is mind-blowing - can you imagine just chillin' in space for months? 
And it's not just about the astronauts, either... I mean, have you seen those SpaceX rockets take off? It's like magic, dude! 
But what really gets me excited is that this mission could be a huge step towards establishing a permanent human presence in space. The possibilities are endless, and I'm hyped to see where this journey takes us 
. It's awesome that they're able to make this happen without too much drama. The ISS is going to be lit with four new faces soon 
! Can't wait to see these astronauts and cosmonauts in action, it's going to be a wild ride 
.
. can't w8 2 c them launchin from cape canaveral!!! 
. and andrey fedyaev too! he's got that whole space cosmonaut thing down pat 
Can't they just send out a simple press release like normal people? 
. It's awesome that they're able to have a team of astronauts from different countries like the US, ESA, and Russia all working together as a crew 
?! NASA is getting more and more organized I guess, gonna hold a whole briefing for the Crew-12 mission 
, so we can watch the astronauts prep for launch 
. It's like a giant game of space chess, each move building up to something bigger and better 
. And it's nice to see some new faces on the ISS too 
. Bring it on! 
. I'm curious to know more about the challenges they'll face during their stay on the ISS and how this mission will contribute to advancing our understanding of space travel 
. The ISS is like our ultimate space lab, right? And it's awesome that they're doing this mission twice, I guess it means they're figuring out some new tech or something 
. What do you think about SpaceX pushing back their original launch date? Is it better to have more time to prep or just get the party started already? 
just saw that NASA is hosting briefings for SpaceX Crew-12 and I'm beyond excited! 
Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway will be on board for a second time, which is crazy considering the risks they'll face. And can you believe this mission is happening at all? It's like we're one step closer to making humanity an multi-planetary species!
