SpaceX Dragon capsule sticks splashdown landing as NASA astronauts return home after months stuck in space
Tuesday, 18 March 2025 () The pair of NASA astronauts who have been in space for over nine months returned to Earth Tuesday after a new crew to replace them reached the ISS over the weekend.
Moment Sunita Williams steps out as the Crew-9 astronauts are seen for the first time after returning from their ISS mission. Recovery teams are assisting Sunita Williams, Nick Hague, Butch Wilmore, and Aleksandr Gorbunov out of the Dragon capsule, following standard post-splashdown procedures. This...
Dragon Capsule Re-entry is set for a critical descent as SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft prepares to return to Earth. The journey will last 46 minutes, during which the capsule will separate from its trunk module and enter Earth’s atmosphere at 28,000 km/h. This high-speed entry creates immense friction, turning the capsule into a ball of fire. A heat shield will protect the crew while mission control loses contact for 7 minutes. NASA and SpaceX are closely monitoring conditions to ensure a safe splashdown in the ocean.
