L’astronaute française Sophie Adenot doit décoller vendredi 13 février 2026 pour rejoindre la Station spatiale internationale (ISS).
Entre 1994 et 1999, au cours de plusieurs missions, Jean-François Clervoy a passé 675 heures dans l’espace.
En janvier 2011, à bord de l’ISS, l’astronaute Cady Coleman, équipée d’électrodes, mène des expériences en apesanteur.

Overview

  • Liftoff is scheduled for 5:15 a.m. local time from Kennedy Space Center aboard a Falcon 9 with a Crew Dragon capsule.
  • Adenot will fly with NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrei Fedyaev on a multinational crew.
  • Rendezvous with the International Space Station is expected roughly 34 hours after launch, with docking targeted on Saturday.
  • The European Epsilon mission includes extensive research on microgravity and the space environment, with more than 200 planned investigations.
  • Key work features testing CNES’s EchoFinder autonomous ultrasound tool and neurosensory studies, following two weather scrubs for high-altitude winds and a buildup affected by Crew-11’s medical return and a Russian crew reassignment reported by analysts but not confirmed by NASA.
