SpaceX Cargo Dragon Undocked From Station<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Sept.
Sept. 30, 2021: International Space Station Configuration. Four spaceships are parked at the space station including Northrop Grumman\u2019s Cygnus space freighter; the SpaceX Crew Dragon vehicle; and Russia\u2019s Soyuz MS-18 crew ship and ISS Progress 78 resupply ship.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough<\/a>\u00a0monitoring aboard the International Space Station<\/a>, a SpaceX cargo Dragon spacecraft undocked from the station\u2019s forward port of the Harmony module at 9:12 a.m. EDT.<\/p>\n

Cargo Dragon will fire its thrusters to move a safe distance away from the station prior to a deorbit burn later in the day that will begin its re-entry into Earth\u2019s atmosphere. The spacecraft will make parachute-assisted splashdown around 11 p.m. off the coast of Florida. NASA Television will not broadcast the splashdown live, but will provide updates on the\u00a0space station blog.<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Splashing down off the coast of Florida enables quick transportation of the science aboard the capsule<\/a> to the agency\u2019s Kennedy Space Center\u2019s Space Station Processing Facility, delivering some science back into the hands of the researchers hours after splashdown. This shorter transportation timeframe allows researchers to collect data with minimal loss of microgravity effects.<\/p>\n

Dragon launched<\/a>\u00a0Aug. 29 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy, arriving at the station the following day. The spacecraft delivered more than 4,800 pounds of research investigations<\/a>, crew supplies, and vehicle hardware to the orbiting outpost.<\/p>\n
