NASA, SpaceX Crew-12 rocket launch set for Friday from Florida's Space Coast

Four astronauts are expected to blast off from Florida's Space Coast on a flight to the International Space Station this week.

Crew-12 will replace four crew members who cut their mission short due to a medical issue.

SpaceX and NASA will launch Crew-12 to the ISS on Friday, Feb. 13, at 5:15 a.m., from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

The launch was initially scheduled for Wednesday but was pushed back due to forecast weather conditions along the Dragon spacecraft's flight path.

The mission was then scheduled no earlier than 5:38 a.m. on Thursday, but was delayed again.

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft will carry NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev to the orbiting laboratory for a science mission, according to NASA.
