TWO CREW-12 PRE-LAUNCH BRIEFINGS, Jan 30, 2026, JSC, 11:00 am and 1:00 pm ET
Event Navigation
NASA will hold two pre-launch briefings for Crew-12, which is getting ready to launch to the International Space Station. The launch was scheduled for February 15, but NASA is working to advance the date because Crew-11 had to return early and only one U.S. astronaut, Chris Williams, is currently aboard the ISS.
The two briefings will air on NASA’s YouTube channel. Participants are:
11 a.m.: Mission Overview News Conference
- Ken Bowersox, associate administrator, NASA’s Space Operations Mission Directorate
- Steve Stich, manager, Commercial Crew Program, NASA Kennedy
- Dana Weigel, manager, International Space Station Program, NASA Johnson

1 p.m.: Crew News Conference
