Jack Hathaway

Jack Hathaway is a NASA astronaut. He is part of the SpaceX Crew-12 mission that recently launched to the International Space Station (ISS). The crew, consisting of Hathaway, fellow NASA astronaut Jessica Meir, European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, launched from Cape Canaveral aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft. Their arrival at the ISS on Saturday, February 14, 2026, restores the station to full strength after a previous crew was medically evacuated last month. This medical evacuation was NASA's first in 65 years of human spaceflight. Crew-12 will spend eight months aboard the ISS conducting research and maintaining the station. Hathaway's mission is significant as it contributes to ongoing space exploration and research efforts, and addresses the unexpected need to replace personnel due to unforeseen medical circumstances.
