NASA SpaceX Crew-12 launch Feb 13 plan has been postponed. This time, bad rainfall conditions along the SpaceX Falcon 9 crew flight route have averted a launch earlier in the week. Brigades are presently planning to launch at least 5: 15 am EST on the 13th of February for a launch at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

The move was made after a routine poll on weather conditions. The conditions showed that the weather wasn't favorable in areas of the flight route over the Atlantic. Conditions for the location of launch are predicted to be mostly favorable. Mission teams decided to cancel the launch, rather than take any chance. This become part of Crew-12 international space station mission in partnership with SpaceX

The delay has occurred due to the bad weathering. The launch of the new mission across the Atlantic coast is quite high. The original date of launching was to be 12 feb according to the new status of NASA. Crew members are all set to launch the programme with the new development and advancements.

NASA as well as SpaceX officials will be polling Go/No Go at the time of the Launch Readiness Review (LRR) that will allow the mission to start counting down in the event that conditions improve.

Astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway will pilot the spacecraft for NASA along with European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Sophie Adenot and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev. The group has been quarantined at the Kennedy Space Center since 6 February, 2026.
