Overview
- Crew-10’s Dragon Endurance departed the International Space Station at 6:05 p.m. EDT on August 8 after completing a 146-day expedition.
- Splashdown is set for 11:33 a.m. EDT on August 9 in the Pacific Ocean off Southern California, marking NASA’s first crewed landing on the West Coast following SpaceX’s recovery ship relocation.
- High winds in the splashdown zone delayed the undocking by nearly a day, extending the crew handover with their successors.
- Crew-11 members Zena Cardman, Mike Fincke, Kimiya Yui and Oleg Platonov are already aboard the station to ensure uninterrupted operations.
- After recovery at sea, astronauts Anne McClain, Nichole Ayers, Takuya Onishi and Kirill Peskov will be flown to Houston with over 200 microgravity research samples.
