SpaceX launched Falcon 9 on February 13, 2026, carrying Crew Dragon Resilience on the 12th operational crew rotation mission to the International Space Station. Four astronauts representing NASA, the European Space Agency, and Roscosmos were aboard, designated as part of Expedition 75/76. This mission continued the regular rotation schedule for maintaining continuous human presence aboard the ISS, with the crew Dragon spacecraft docking at the Harmony module's forward port.

The launch took place from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, utilizing SpaceX's proven Falcon 9 rocket. This vehicle has become the primary means for transporting American and international crews to the space station under NASA's Commercial Crew Program. The standardized Falcon 9 launch vehicle, combined with the reusable Crew Dragon capsule, has established a reliable cadence for ISS crew logistics.

The mission concluded successfully, marking another milestone in SpaceX's operational crew transportation services. The Crew-12 mission demonstrated the maturity of commercial crewed spaceflight operations and the effective international partnership for maintaining ISS staffing levels. With the success of this flight, SpaceX continued its track record as a dependable provider of human spaceflight services for NASA and its international partners.
