NASAs SpaceX Crew-9 Prepares for Deorbit Burn
NASA's SpaceX Crew-9 crew members are moments away from a deorbit burn on their journey from the International Space Station to Earth.
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, carrying NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Suni Williams, and Butch Wilmore, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, undocked from the space station at 1:05 a.m. EDT March 18.
The deorbit burn, which is expected to last 7.5 minutes, places the Dragon spacecraft on a precise trajectory to return to the splashdown zone in the Gulf of America, off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida, at approximately 5:57 p.m.
