The Crew-12 launch was delayed by two days due to adverse weather forecasts across the U.S. East Coast, including high winds that could have complicated emergency maneuvers.

PlanGeneralValue 4.0Feb 13, 2026International crew takes off for space station

SpaceX is targeting no earlier than February 13 for Falcon 9's launch of NASA's Crew-12 due to elevated winds in the ascent corridor.

PlanValue 4.5Feb 10, 2026Unfortunately the Crew-12 mission has been delayed by an additional 24 hours, as weather in the ascent corridor continues to be unfavorable. However this does mean that ULA's USSF-87 Vulcan launch can proceed as planned on Feb. 12th, with the 2-hour window opening at 08:30 UTC.

Spire’s forecasts are aligned with vegetation risk models to provide utilities a real-time view of threats such as high winds, extreme temperatures, and moisture changes that influence vegetation behavior and grid reliability.

The data from the J0705+0612 occultation show strong winds of vaporized metals streaming through the cloud rather than a static, quiescent disk.

GeneralValue 3.0Jan 27, 2026Metal rich winds detected in giant dusty cloud around distant star

Large pieces of space junk engulfed in superheated plasma during reentry can release clouds of small, potentially toxic particles that can linger in the air for hours and drift with changing winds.

GeneralValue 2.0Jan 27, 2026Seismic networks offer new way to track space junk reentering atmosphere

Debris from a giant collision in the J0705+0612 system could settle into a gravitationally bound cloud or disk around a surviving secondary object and produce gaseous metallic winds over time.
