The four astronauts of the Crew3 mission have returned safely to Earth from the International Space Station, splashing down in their SpaceX Crew Dragon.
The four astronauts of the Crew-3 mission have returned safely to Earth from the International Space Station, splashing down in their SpaceX Crew Dragon craft on Friday, May 6. The splashdown at 12:43 a.m. ET in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida brought the crew’s 177-day mission to space to an end.
“NASA’s partnership with SpaceX has again empowered us to deliver a crew safely to the space station and back, enabling groundbreaking science that will help our astronauts travel farther out into the cosmos than ever before. This mission is just one more example that we are truly in the golden era of commercial spaceflight,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson in a statement.
The four had arrived at the space station on November 11, 2021, on a Dragon spacecraft named Endurance which remained docked to the Harmony module’s forward space station port. During the almost six-month mission, according to NASA, the crew traveled 75,060,792 miles and completed 2,832 orbits around Earth.
