At 12:29 a.m. EST, the hatch closed between the Dragon spacecraft, named Endurance, and the International Space Station in preparation for undocking and return to Earth of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-5 mission with NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Koichi Wakata, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina.
NASA Television will air live coverage beginning at 1:45 a.m., for undocking scheduled at 2:05 a.m. Following conclusion of undocking coverage, NASA coverage of Crew-5’s return will continue with audio only, and full coverage will resume at the start of the splashdown broadcast at 8 p.m. this evening. Real-time audio between Crew-5 and flight controllers at NASA’s Mission Audio stream will remain available and includes conversations with astronauts aboard the space station and a live video feed from the orbiting laboratory.
