SpaceX Crew-12, 2026

ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot (FR) is scheduled to fly to the International Space Station in 2026 on NASA's SpaceX Crew-12 with astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway and cosmonaut Andrei Fedyayev.
The backdrop of the Crew-12 patch sets the scene of this crew’s odyssey through an enchanted forest, where adventure awaits around every corner. The trees, with fresh buds emerging, manifest both the crew’s love and respect for nature and their hope and optimism for the future. Bright stars shine in the sky, lighting a path for each crew member, surrounded by smaller stars embodying their offspring.
A mythical dragon breathes fire to fuel the trajectory of the Dragon capsule and set these explorers on their mission to the International Space Station, evoking the delicate balance and connections between living things and the technology that supports them, and the spirit of partnership between NASA and SpaceX. 

The flags of the crew member’s home nations stand along the curvature of their one home planet, demonstrating the solid foundation and relationships that have supported them throughout their individual and collective journeys.
