SpaceX Dragon is Launching to ISS to Solve NASA Trouble Humiliated Russia Soyuz...
Things on the International Space Station have gotten so serious that NASA is now rushing the launch of Crew Dragon 12, pushing it forward to later this month.
This is something NASA clearly didn’t want to make public. But somehow, the truth slipped out in their latest official post.
So what’s really going on aboard the ISS right now? And how are SpaceX and NASA planning to fix it?
Let’s break it all down in today’s episode of Alpha Tech.

By late January 2026, the International Space Station had entered a very unusual and very challenging phase. For a brief period, the ISS was operating with just three crew members, what insiders call a true “skeleton crew.”
These three astronauts were part of Expedition 74. The team included NASA astronaut Chris Williams, serving as a Flight Engineer, alongside two Roscosmos cosmonauts: Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, who was acting as the Commander of the entire ISS, and Sergey Mikaev, also serving as a Flight Engineer.
All three arrived at the station aboard Soyuz MS-28, which launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on November 27, 2025. By this point, they had already been living and working in orbit for more than two months.
Now, operating the ISS with only three people is a massive strain. Under normal conditions, the station is designed to be run by a crew of seven. With less than half that number onboard, the workload becomes intense very quickly.

Daily operations were reduced to the absolute essentials: keeping critical life-support systems running, performing only the most basic scientific experiments, monitoring the station’s automated systems, and staying ready to respond to any emergency at a moment’s notice.
Thanks to the ISS’s highly redundant design and advanced automation, the station remained stable and safe. But many labor-intensive or complex activities had to be scaled back or postponed entirely. Larger scientific experiments, deep maintenance work, and especially spacewalks, whether to repair areas damaged by orbital debris or to deploy and service solar panels were delayed to avoid pushing the crew beyond safe limits.
Soyuz MS-28 is currently scheduled to depart the station and return to Earth in late July 2026. That means this three-person crew has roughly four months left to complete their mission before finally heading home.
The situation became this tense because of an unexpected event in mid-January 2026.
