Previously, the mission was planned for February 12. However, the forecast of unfavorable weather along the flight path led to the decision to postpone the launch. NASA announced that the launch will occur no earlier than 05:15 AM EST. Joining Fedyaev on the ISS will be American astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, along with European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot. Meanwhile, the Crew-12 mission team remains in quarantine at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida until the launch.

The launch will take place from Cape Canaveral aboard the SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket. The crew is expected to arrive at the ISS on February 14.
