SpaceX capsule brings Crew-10 astronauts home after five months on ISS
After nearly five months on the International Space Station, the five astronauts from the United States, Japan and Russia began their return to Earth on Friday onboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule. At 2215 GMT, the spacecraft separated from the orbiting station. It is scheduled to splash down off the coast of California at 1533 GMT on Saturday, following a 17-hour descent.
The returning crew includes US astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Japan’s Takuya Onishi and Russian cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, will conclude NASA’s 10th Commercial Crew rotation mission. The space mission was a program designed to maintain regular ISS staffing through partnerships with private space companies.
The capsule’s high-speed re-entry will be slowed first by atmospheric drag, then by large parachutes to ensure a safe landing. A SpaceX recovery vessel will retrieve the spacecraft from the Pacific Ocean before the astronauts disembark and breathe fresh air for the first time since their March launch.
During their stay, Crew-10 conducted a range of experiments, including research into plant growth and the effects of gravity on human cells. Their mission also followed the unexpected extended stay of NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, who had been stranded on the ISS for nine months after a propulsion failure rendered Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft unfit for return. Wilmore has since announced his retirement after 25 years with NASA.
The crew is departing after a new crew with US astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, Japan’s Kimiya Yui and Russian cosmonaut Oleg Platonov, arrived at the ISS for a six-month mission.
