At around 5:19 a.m. EST, the little craft carrying more than 4,000 pounds of experiments and whatnot landed with the help of six parachutes off the coast of Tampa, Fla., stated SpaceX and NASA.
The Dragon splashed down with the help of two drogue parachutes and four main parachutes.
NASA did not broadcast the splashdown. SpaceX did not provide a live feed of the return either.
SpaceX tweeted that once the Dragon has been collected by the companyâs recovery team, the capsule and its contents will be transported by a helicopter to NASA, specifically to the Space Station Processing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center where researchers will begin collecting data, the space agency confirmed on Monday.
