The astronauts ordered by NASA to prepare for a possible evacuation on Friday are part of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 mission.

American astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, French astronaut Sophie Adenot of the European Space Agency and Russian Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev make up the 12th crew rotation with SpaceX for NASA’s commercial crew program.

They have been at the orbiting International Space Station laboratory since February, conducting scientific investigations and technology demonstrations to help prepare humans for future exploration missions to the Moon and Mars.
