Four people on NASA’S Crew-12 arrive at the International Space Station
Four astronauts from NASA’s Crew-12 mission have successfully arrived at the International Space Station, marking another powerful milestone in human spaceflight.
After a precise and carefully choreographed orbital approach, the Crew-12 spacecraft docked smoothly with the ISS, allowing the four-member international team to float aboard and be welcomed by the station’s current residents.
The newly arrived crew will spend months in orbit conducting cutting-edge scientific experiments, testing advanced space technologies and supporting critical maintenance operations that keep the station running 400 kilometers above Earth.
Their mission focuses on human health in microgravity, next-generation materials, and Earth-observation research — work that directly supports future deep-space exploration, including long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars.
NASA officials praised the flawless arrival, calling it a demonstration of the reliability and growing maturity of modern commercial crew systems.
For the astronauts, the moment of opening the hatch is more than a technical success — it is the beginning of an intense and demanding chapter of life in orbit, where every task must be executed with precision and trust.
As Crew-12 settles into its new home in space, the mission sends a clear message: human exploration is not slowing down — it is pushing farther, higher and faster than ever before.
