• Astronauts Anne McClain, Nichole Ayers, Takuya Onishi and Kirill Peskow will spend over 17 hours in transit before splashing down at 17:33 local time.
• During their mission, Crew 10 conducted key experiments on plant growth and cellular responses to microgravity.
• Crew 11 arrived earlier this week to relieve Crew 10 and has already begun simulating lunar landing scenarios aboard the station.
• NASA has depended solely on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon for ISS crew rotations and rescue since Boeing Starliner’s technical setbacks in mid-2024.
