Briefings

NASA confirmed Crew-12 mission details, including crew members and splashdown timing, while noting undocking depends on weather. The mission involves four astronauts from Russia, NASA, and ESA departing the ISS on Oct. 7 for a scheduled Oct. 8 splashdown in California. Media access is restricted to a specific time window on Oct. 8, and the agency is monitoring recovery conditions closely.

Key points

• Crew-12 consists of four astronauts: Andrey Fedyaev (Roscosmos), Jack Hathaway (NASA), Jessica Meir (NASA), and Sophie Adenot (ESA), all pictured in pressure suits before departure.
• The mission targets an undocking between 8:05 a.m. and 8:20 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, Oct. 7, with splashdown scheduled for 11:34 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 8, off California coast.

Context and limitations

Live coverage times are subject to real-time changes; media access is limited to Oct. 8, 10:20 a.m. to 12 p.m. EDT, with specific call-in requirements. Weather conditions in the Pacific and spacecraft readiness are critical factors affecting the actual undocking time.
