Astronauts leave ISS, begin return to Earth on SpaceX craft – Aljazeera.com
The astronauts spent more than 160 days in space and their Crew Dragon spacecraft should return on Sunday.
Four astronauts have left the International Space Station on board a SpaceX vessel, after more than 160 days in space which will culminate in a splash landing off the Florida coast.
The Crew Dragon capsule undocked from the ISS as scheduled at 8:35pm on Saturday (00:35 Sunday GMT).
With the flight back to Earth expected to take six and a half hours, the crew was scheduled to splash down in the dark of night early on Sunday in the Gulf of Mexico, just off Panama City, Florida.
