Mission

The 12th SpaceX operational mission in the Commercial Crew Program is scheduled for launch in March 2026.

Epsilon

On June 20, 2025, Josef Aschbacher shared that ESA's portion of the Crew-12 mission—Astronaut Sophie Adenot's assignment—will be called Epsilon. This will be Adenot's first trip to space. She was chosen in the 2022 European Space Agency Astronaut Group and will be the first career astronaut from that class to fly.^[a] The name is sometimes stylized with a lowercase epsilon ("ε") in place of the "E" to symbolize a "small, yet impactful" variable to the "collaborative effort of space exploration". The mission patch also includes a hummingbird, highlighting how even the tiniest creatures play an important role in nature—tying back to the idea that every contribution matters.^[3]

Notes

1. The 2022 class is split into "career astronauts", who train for multiple long-duration missions and "project astronauts" who fly on single, short-duration mission. Two project astronauts from the class have flown on Axiom Space missions: Marcus Wandt on Ax-3 and Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski on Ax-4.
