载有4名机组人员的SpaceX”龙”飞船于周六情人节当天与国际空间站对接，在另外4名宇航员因医疗问题提前返回一个月后，使该实验室的机组人员恢复到满编7人。
东部时间下午3:15，”龙”飞船对接至实验室前向和谐号舱段的面向太空的端口，这是周五从肯尼迪航天中心乘坐猎鹰9号火箭发射后34小时的成果。
2026年2月14日，国际空间站上的Crew 12机组人员在漂浮进入后不久在舱内活动。 他们与空间站指挥官谢尔盖·库德-斯韦尔奇科夫（穿黑色衬衫，左后方）、美国宇航局宇航员克里斯·威廉姆斯和宇航员谢尔盖·米卡耶夫（均穿黑色衬衫）会合。Crew 12机组人员从左至右依次为：宇航员安德烈·费佳耶夫（倒转视角）、杰克·哈撒韦、杰西卡·迈尔和最右侧的法国宇航员索菲·阿德纳。NASA
“很感激能登上飞船，我们已经准备好投入工作。”Crew 12指挥官杰西卡·迈尔通过无线电说道，这是她第二次在空间站进行长期驻留。
Crew 12机组人员由资深俄罗斯宇航员安德烈·费佳耶夫和两名航天新人——宇航员杰克·哈撒韦以及欧洲航天局宇航员索菲·阿德纳组成，他们在对接后两小时打开”龙”飞船舱门，漂浮进入空间站。
在拥抱和握手之间，他们受到了空间站指挥官谢尔盖·库德-斯韦尔奇科夫、谢尔盖·米卡耶夫和美国宇航局宇航员克里斯·威廉姆斯的欢迎。这三人于去年11月乘坐俄罗斯联盟号飞船发射至该前哨基地。
“欢迎来到Crew 12。”库德-斯韦尔奇科夫在简短仪式中表示，”我们很高兴他们安全抵达，我们等这一刻等了很长时间。我们非常高兴和自豪能在这里作为一个团队工作。”
迈尔回应道：”再次回到这里真是太棒了……环顾四周，这里的机组人员确实证明了我们所做的一切，我们有来自众多国家、不同背景和学科的成员，我们非常兴奋能在此工作。”

至于这次行程，法国空军直升机试验飞行员、跳伞专家和水肺潜水专家阿德纳表示，SpaceX给了他们”一段很棒的旅程，非常有趣！”
“我们第一次看到地球时，哇，令人惊叹，”阿德纳说，”从这里看地球如此美丽。我们看不到界线和边界，这对我和杰克来说是一个非常重大的时刻。”
迈尔和她的机组同伴正在接替Crew 11指挥官泽娜·卡德曼、迈克·芬克、日本宇航员由伊米和宇航员奥列格·普拉托诺夫，后者上个月的提前离开使空间站仅剩下三名驻留人员：库德-斯韦尔奇科夫、米卡耶夫和威廉姆斯。
虽然空间站可以由三人机组安全运行，但美国宇航局的一名宇航员无法完成全部NASA及合作机构的研究任务和必要维护工作。
此外，需要两人结伴系统的太空行走也将无法进行。

美国宇航局管理人员试图将Crew 12的发射提前约4天至2月11日，以缩短威廉姆斯作为空间站美国舱段唯一操作人员的工作时间。
但由于与为NASA阿尔忒弥斯二号月球任务准备发射的工作冲突，以及本周早些时候沿”龙”飞船上升轨迹的强风，迈尔和她的团队最终在周五发射。
随着Crew 12的加入，美国舱段的研究可以恢复正常节奏，太空行走也可按需安排。
“Crew 12很荣幸能加入我们的Expedition 74朋友和同事……为国际空间站的故事续写我们的篇章。”哈撒韦通过无线电表示。
会合过程顺利进行。但当天早些时候，机组人员召开了一次私人医疗会议（PMC），并表示对接后可能需要后续的医疗会议。他们后来确认希望在对接后召开医疗会议。
“我们将按计划进行，所以如果你们能让（飞行）外科医生在我们对接后做好准备，我们将不胜感激。”哈撒韦通过无线电说道。任务控制中心回应：”我们已准备好提供支持。”
根据严格执行的医疗隐私准则，美国宇航局不讨论宇航员健康问题，目前尚不清楚是什么问题促使他们要求对接后的医疗会议。
大约一半的太空飞行人员在适应失重的初期会出现恶心和相关症状，但这种不适通常在进入太空几天后会减轻。
Replacement crew docks at International Space Station, boosts numbers back to 7

A SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule with a crew of four glided in for a Valentine’s Day docking at the International Space Station Saturday, boosting the lab’s crew back to a full complement of seven one month after four other fliers came home early because of a medical issue.
The Crew Dragon docked at the space-facing port of the lab’s forward Harmony module at 3:15 p.m. Eastern Time, 34 hours after launch Friday from the Kennedy Space Center atop a Falcon 9 rocket.
The Crew 12 fliers cavort aboard the International Space Station shortly after floating inside on Feb. 14, 2026. They joined station commander Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, back left in black shirt, NASA astronaut Chis Williams and cosmonaut Sergey Mikaev, both wearing black shirts. The Crew 12 astronauts, from left to right, are cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev (upside down), Jack Hathaway, Jessica Meir and French astronaut Sophie Adenot at the far right. NASA
“Grateful to be on board, and we’re ready to get to work,” radioed Crew 12 commander Jessica Meir, making her second long-duration stay aboard the space station.
Joined by veteran Russian cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev and two space rookies, astronaut Jack Hathaway and European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot, the Crew 12 fliers opened the Crew Dragon’s hatch and floated into the station two hours after docking.
Amid hugs and handshakes, they were welcomed aboard by space station commander Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, Sergey Mikaev and NASA astronaut Chris Williams. Those three were launched to the outpost last November aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft.
“Welcome to Crew 12,” Kud-Sverchkov said in a brief ceremony. “We are happy they all arrived safe and sound, we’ve been waiting for this moment for a very long time. We’re really happy and proud to work as a team here.”
Meir replied, “It is so wonderful to be back up here…You look around, the crew up here, and it’s really a testament to everything we do, we have so many countries represented, so many backgrounds, so many disciplines, we are so excited to be here.”

As for the trip up, Adenot, a veteran French air force helicopter test pilot, sky diver and SCUBA expert, said SpaceX gave the crew “quite a ride, very fun!”
“The first time we looked at the Earth was, wow, mind blowing,” Adenot said. “The Earth is so beautiful from up (here). We see no lines, no borders, it was a very big moment for us, for Jack and me, to see that for the first time.”
Meir and her crewmates are replacing Crew 11 commander Zena Cardman, Mike Fincke, Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui and cosmonaut Oleg Platonov, whose early departure last month left the station with just three occupants: Kud-Sverchkov, Mikaev and Williams.
While the outpost can be safely operated by a crew of three, a single NASA astronaut cannot carry out a full range of NASA and partner agency research as well as required maintenance.
In addition, spacewalks, which require two astronauts using a buddy system, are ruled out.

NASA managers attempted to move up Crew 12’s launch by about four days to as early as Feb. 11 to shave off some of the time Williams would be the sole operator of systems in the U.S. segment of the space station.
But because of conflicts with work to ready NASA’s Artemis II moon mission for launch, along with high winds earlier this week along the Crew Dragon’s ascent trajectory, Meir and company ended up launching Friday.
With the addition of Crew 12, research in the U.S. segment can resume its normal pace and spacewalks can be staged as needed.
“Crew 12 is honored to join our Expedition 74 friends and colleagues…to add our chapter to the story of the International Space Station,” Hathaway radioed.
The rendezvous went off without a hitch. But earlier in the day, the crew held a private medical conference, or PMC, and said they might need a follow-on PMC after docking. They later confirmed they wanted a post-docking medical conference.
“We’re going to go forward with that plan, so if you could just have the (flight) surgeon ready for us after we get all docked we would appreciate that,” Hathaway radioed. Mission control replied: “We’ll be ready to support.”
Under strictly enforced medical privacy guidelines, NASA does not discuss astronaut health issues, and it wasn’t known what sort of issue might have prompted the request for a post-docking PMC.
About half the men and women who fly in space suffer nausea and related symptoms during their initial adaptation to weightlessness, but the discomfort typically abates after a few days in space.
