BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – NASA and SpaceX targeted Wednesday for the undocking of the agency’s SpaceX Crew-8 mission from the International Space Station.
Pending weather conditions, the splashdown time is targeted for approximately 3:29 a.m., Friday, Oct. 25, at one of the multiple zones available off the coast of Florida.
NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, Jeanette Epps, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin, are completing a seven-month science expedition aboard the orbiting laboratory and will return important and time-sensitive research to Earth.
Mission managers continue monitoring weather conditions in the area, as Dragon’s undocking depends on various factors, including spacecraft readiness, recovery team readiness, weather, sea states, and other factors. NASA will select a specific splashdown time and location closer to the Crew-8 spacecraft undocking.
