NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, Jeanette Epps, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin boarded the Crew Dragon Endeavour on Wednesday for their journey back to Earth after nearly eight months aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
Undocking from the ISS scheduled
The hatch was closed at 5:05 p.m. ET as the team prepared for undocking from the ISS. They are targeting a splashdown off the coast of Florida early Friday morning, after several weather-related delays.
Crew-8's long mission ends
The crew launched from Kennedy Space Center aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on March 4 and arrived at the ISS the following day. By the time they land, they will have spent 236 days in space, conducting scientific research and technology demonstrations.
