Watch NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 astronauts return to Earth

The astronauts a part of SpaceX’s Crew-10 mission are on their way back home. Their Dragon capsule referred to as Endurance is scheduled to splash down at roughly 11:33 AM Jap day off the coast of California. Endurance undocked from the Worldwide Area Station at 6:15PM Jap on August 8 with NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Japan Aerospace Exploration Company (JAXA) astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov onboard. They stayed on the ISS for five months and left per week after Crew-11 arrived to take their place.

Whereas they have been on the house station, Crew-10 helped broaden our data on the physiological and psychological changes people endure on long-duration missions that vary from weeks to a 12 months. In addition they noticed how blood flows from the mind to the center in microgravity, among the many different research and experiments they performed.

As NASA notes, this might be its first Business Crew mission to splash down into the Pacific Ocean, as earlier capsules splashed down off the coast of Florida. NASA will broadcast the crew’s return, with its protection beginning at 10:15AM right this moment, August 9. You possibly can watch Endurance splash down into the ocean on NASA+ or on the YouTube video embedded beneath. NASA can even maintain a teleconference after retrieving the astronauts and can broadcast the occasion on its website.
