About

Sophie Adenot is an astronaut representing the European Space Agency (ESA). She is part of the SpaceX Crew-12 mission, which launched from Cape Canaveral and arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday, February 14, 2026. Adenot, along with NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrei Fedyaev, are replacing a team that was evacuated from the ISS last month due to a medical emergency. The crew traveled aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft launched by a Falcon 9 rocket and will spend eight months on the ISS. Their arrival restores the ISS to full strength after the unexpected departure of the previous crew, marking a significant event in ongoing space exploration and international collaboration.
