Crew-12 begins return from the ISS
CATCH ME UP
Crew-12 has begun its return after a long stay aboard the International Space Station.
The four crew members boarded SpaceX Crew Dragon Freedom and undocked to head home.
The mission lasted nearly eight months.
Their work included research on cancer-targeting crystal growth, bone loss scaffolds, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Why it mattersTheir return marks the end of a months-long ISS mission that advances station research and signals the next crew handoff.
More context
The station now has seven crew members remaining, including recently arrived Crew-13 and a separate Soyuz crew.

NASA Crew-12 Returns After ISS Research on Cancer Treatments, Bone Loss, and Bacteria
Quick source take
NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 mission prepared for a return to Earth following nearly eight months aboard the International Space Station conducting scientific research. Commander Jessica Meir, pilot Jack Hathaway, ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev focused their work on experiments involving cancer-targeting crystal growth, bone loss scaffolds, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The reported scientific portfolio also included ultracold atom studies, stem-cell expansion, and on-demand intravenous fluid production to support both terrestrial applications and future space voyages.
SpaceX Crew-12 set to leave space station, head home to Earth
Quick source take
The International Space Station population decreased Wednesday as four members of Crew-12 boarded the SpaceX Crew Dragon Freedom and undocked to begin their return to Earth. NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev spent nearly eight months on board. Their departure leaves seven crew members remaining on the station, including the recently arrived members of Crew-13 and a separate Soyuz crew, following a mission that highlighted long-duration habitation and command handovers.
