Four astronauts will soon fly home from the International Space Station. The team is called Crew-12. It includes Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, Sophie Adenot and Andrey Fedyaev. They flew to the station in February 2026. On 16 September, they will talk to reporters about their trip back to Earth.
During the mission, the crew helped with hundreds of science experiments. For example, they studied tiny bacteria and how blood moves in space. This work may help doctors on Earth too. The astronauts will leave after the next team arrives at the station. Their spacecraft will land in the sea near California. Teams will check the weather carefully before the trip.
