JACKSONVILLE, Florida – SpaceX’s Dragon Endeavour streaked throughout the Florida sky ahead of splashing down off the coast of Jacksonville early Monday, bringing 4 astronauts safely again to Earth after a six-month mission at the International Space Station.
The astronauts incorporated NASA’s Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg, United Arab Emirates astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, and Russia’s Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev.
The workforce spent 184 days aboard the International Space Station and finished 2,976 orbits round Earth.
“After spending six months aboard the International Space Station, logging nearly 79 million miles during their mission, and completing hundreds of scientific experiments for the benefit of all humanity, NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 has returned home to planet Earth,” stated Administrator Bill Nelson in a press release. “This international crew represented three nations, but together they demonstrated humanity’s shared ambition to reach new cosmic shores. The contributions of Crew-6 will help prepare NASA to return to the Moon under Artemis, continue onward to Mars, and improve life here on Earth.”
After touching down in Florida, the workforce used to be flown again to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
The Dragon Endeavour spacecraft will go back to Florida for inspection and can be ready for its subsequent flight.
