Weather Delays SpaceX Crew-12 Launch to ISS from Cape Canaveral
SpaceX's Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) has been delayed due to poor weather conditions forecasted for the original launch date. The mission, which involves sending four astronauts aboard the Crew Dragon capsule 'Freedom' atop a Falcon 9 rocket, is now tentatively scheduled for February 12, 2026, at 5:38 a.m. EDT from Space Launch Complex-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The delay is attributed to high winds and a low-pressure system affecting the launch area. NASA and SpaceX are closely monitoring weather conditions to ensure a safe launch. The mission aims to restore the ISS to its full crew capacity of seven astronauts, following a recent medical evacuation that left the station with a skeleton crew.
