WASHINGTON, United States, Feb 15, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Four astronauts docked at the International Space Station on Saturday for a months-long research mission, replacing a crew forced to return to Earth early over a medical issue. Crew-12 will be one of the last crews to live aboard the football field-sized space station. Adenot has become the second French woman to fly into space, following in the footsteps of Claudie Haignere, who spent time on the Mir space station. However, the space station has not entirely avoided the tensions back on Earth. Russian space agency Roscosmos merely said he had been transferred to a different job.
