SpaceX's 32nd robotic Dragon cargo mission undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) today (May 23), after a one-day delay due to bad weather at the splashdown site.
NASA and SpaceX integrated operation teams polled "go" for undocking at 11:50 a.m. EDT (1550 GMT). Dragon's departure was overseen aboard the ISS by NASA astronaut Jimmy Kim, who coordinated with mission controllers on the ground. A command for the automated Dragon spacecraft to begin the undocking process was sent at 12:00 p.m. EDT (1600 GMT), with the capsule departing the ISS five minutes later. At the time, Dragon and the space station were flying 260 miles (420 kilometers) over northeast Australia.
After undocking, Dragon maneuvered to a safe distance away from the space station and began a series of deorbit burns to place the spacecraft on a return trajectory for a planned splashdown off the California coast is expected around 1:45 a.m. EDT (0545 GMT) Sunday morning (May 25).
