Astronauts Nick Hague, Suni Williams, Butch Wilmore, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov are just one hour away from splashing down aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. The deorbit burn is set to begin at 5:11 p.m. EDT, with splashdown scheduled for approximately 5:57 p.m. Weather conditions remain favorable, clearing the way for a successful landing.
The crew’s journey has been closely monitored by NASA, and all systems appear to be in order. The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is designed to safely return the astronauts to Earth, marking an important milestone in the ongoing partnership between NASA and private space companies like SpaceX.
