NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12: SpaceX Dragon Completes Deorbit Burn

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev completed its deorbit burn as expected ahead of splashdown. 

Four minutes before splashdown, the drogue parachutes will deploy at about 18,000 feet in altitude while Dragon is moving approximately 350 mph. Less than a minute later, at about 6,000 feet in altitude, the main parachutes deploy while the spacecraft is moving approximately 120 mph.
