NATIONWIDE — Both NASA and SpaceX will be standing down from Crew-10’s undocking from the International Space Station on Thursday due to weather concerns.
What You Need To Know
NASA is calling off the undocking and splashdown of Crew-10 due to forecasted high winds Passengers: It can carry up to 7 people
Parachutes: 2 drogue + 4 main = 6 parachutes
While the Dragon spacecraft will be completely autonomous from undocking to splashdown, the crew can take control of the capsule if needed.
And the ride down will be far more exhilarating than an amusement park ride at Universal. Using a series of parachute deployments, the Dragon will slow down from an orbital speed of about 17,500 mph (28,164 kph) to 350 mph (482 kph) to about 16 mph (25 kph) when it should softly land in the ocean.
And things will get a bit warm for the Dragon as it will encounter temperatures of 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,927 degrees Celsius) once it hits Earth’s atmosphere. The spacecraft’s special shielding and the air conditioning system will keep the crew safe and cool.
It is not known exactly where Endurance’s splashdown will be since NASA is still currently figuring out the weather conditions at various destinations off of California’s coast.
Depending on where the Dragon will be screaming over, some lucky people may hear a sonic boom.
