SpaceX's Crew Dragon Flight 12 has splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of California, on October 8, 2026. Crew members Sophie Adenot, Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, and Andrey Fedayev successfully undocked from the ISS on October 7, and piloted the capsule through the Earth's atmosphere during the morning of October 8th, and landed in the Pacific Ocean safely.
After over 200 days of successful operations aboard the International Space Station, the crew was joined by Crew 13, four new crew members aboard the orbital laboratory. Once the crew arrived, there was a one week waiting period for the transfer of crews, preparing old crews to return home. This allowed Crew 12 to finish scientific operations aboard the ISS and pack for re-entry.
