NASA\u2019s live coverage is underway on NASA+<\/a> ahead of hatch closure and undocking preparations for the return of NASA\u2019s SpaceX Crew-9 mission.<\/p>\n

NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Suni Williams, and Butch Wilmore, along with Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, will close the hatch at approximately 11:15 p.m. EDT Monday between the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and the International Space Station.<\/a><\/p>\n

NASA will provide live undocking coverage at 12:45 a.m., Tuesday, March 18, on NASA+<\/a>. The spacecraft will autonomously undock from the space station at 1:05 a.m. to begin the roughly 17-hour return to Earth.<\/p>\n

The Crew-9 mission is targeting a splashdown at approximately 5:57 p.m. March 18 off the coast of Florida. NASA will provide coverage of deorbit burn, entry, and landing beginning at 4:45 p.m. on NASA+<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As part of NASA\u2019s Commercial Crew Program, the Crew-9 mission will return important and time-sensitive research to Earth after completing a long-duration science mission aboard the orbiting laboratory. Hague and Gorbunov lifted off<\/a> at 1:17 p.m. Sept. 28, 2024, on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The next day, Dragon docked<\/a> to the forward-facing port of the station\u2019s Harmony module. Williams and Wilmore launched aboard Boeing\u2019s Starliner spacecraft and United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket on June 5, 2024, from Space Launch Complex 41 as part of the agency\u2019s Boeing Crew Flight Test. The duo arrived at the space station on June 6. In August, NASA announced<\/a> the uncrewed return of Starliner to Earth and integrated Wilmore and Williams as part of the space station\u2019s Expedition 71\/72 for a return on Crew-9.<\/p>\n
