SpaceX Crew-12 Delayed: Weather Scrubs Feb 11 Launch

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 — The highly anticipated launch of SpaceX Crew-12 has been put on hold. Originally scheduled to lift off this morning from Cape Canaveral, mission controllers waved off the attempt due to unfavorable weather conditions in the ascent corridor.

The Delay Details

While the Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft were healthy, high winds and rough seas at the abort landing sites forced the scrub. Safety rules dictate that weather must be clear not just at the launch pad, but all along the trajectory in case of an emergency abort.

New Target: Feb 12

NASA and SpaceX are now targeting Thursday, February 12, at 5:38 a.m. EST for the next attempt. Weather forecasts for tomorrow show a 70% chance of favorable conditions.

Why This Matters

Crew-12 is a critical rotation mission for the ISS. Delays can have a domino effect on the station's schedule, including upcoming cargo missions and the return of Crew-11. Stay Tuned: We will provide live updates on the Feb 12 attempt here on Tech Pulse.
