NASA had originally planned a February 15 launch date for the mission, but moved it to February 11. It had targeted liftoff no earlier than 6:01 AM Eastern that day from Cape Canaveral in Florida. The crew is now in quarantine, and if everything goes well on the day of the launch, the Dragon capsule they are on will land in the orbiting lab at approximately 10:30 AM on February 12.

If you recall, NASA decided to return the members of Crew-11 on January 15, a month earlier than planned, citing a medical concern of one of the members.
