SpaceX’s Crew Dragon-4 spacecraft carrying four astronauts has undocked from the International Space Station to return to Earth, NASA said.
The undocking of the manned spacecraft was carried out at 12:05 US East Coast time (at 19:05 Moscow time).
The ship should splash down after almost five hours of autonomous flight in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida. The estimated splashdown time is at 16:55 (at 23:55 Moscow time).
NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins, Chell Lindgren, Robert Hines, and European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti will return to Earth. They spent almost six months aboard the station.
The international crew remains to work at the station: NASA astronauts Nicole Mann, Josh Kassada and Francisco Rubio, astronaut of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency Koichi Wakata. Together with them, Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopiev, Dmitry Petelin, and Anna Kikina are carrying out the mission.
