The deorbit burn is scheduled to begin at 10:39 a.m. EDT. Splashdown remains on schedule for approximately 11:33 a.m. Weather conditions remain within the splashdown weather criteria and are “go” at the primary targeted site off the coast of San Diego, California. The Crew-10 mission will be the first crewed flight to splashdown off the coast of California as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.
