The Expedition 67<\/a> crew was back to normal on Friday following the departure of four commercial crew astronauts early Thursday morning. The seven International Space Station<\/a> astronauts and cosmonauts will live and work in space together until late summer.<\/p>\n

The SpaceX Crew-3 mission ended at 12:43 a.m. EDT on Friday<\/a> when the Dragon Endurance crew ship splashed down off the coast of Tampa, Florida. Nearly 24 hours earlier, Crew-3 Commander Raja Chari<\/a> with Pilot Tom Marshburn<\/a> and Mission Specialists Kayla Barron<\/a> and Matthias Maurer<\/a> undocked from the Harmony module<\/a>\u2019s forward port inside Dragon.<\/p>\n

After saying farewell to the Crew-3 astronauts early Thursday, the orbiting lab\u2019s four newest astronauts, who arrived the week before aboard the Dragon Freedom<\/a> spaceship, closed the station\u2019s hatches, went to bed about two hours later, and took the rest of the day off.<\/p>\n

On Friday, NASA Flight Engineer Kjell Lindgren<\/a>, who is one week into his second spaceflight, stowed emergency gear and checked out hydroponic hardware for the XROOTS<\/a> space botany study. ESA (European Space Agency) Flight Engineer Samantha Cristoforetti<\/a>, who is also on her second mission, spent her day maintaining orbital plumbing systems.<\/p>\n

First time space-flyers Bob Hines<\/a> and Jessica Watkins<\/a> partnered once again in the Columbus laboratory module<\/a> studying how the central nervous system<\/a> adapts to weightlessness. Hines and Watkins were both selected as members of the 2017 class of astronaut candidates<\/a> in August of the same year.<\/p>\n

The station\u2019s new commander, Oleg Artemyev<\/a>, started his day installing video gear before continuing his weeklong research on ways to maximize the effectiveness of a space workout. Roscosmos Flight Engineer Sergey Korsakov<\/a> also participated on the space exercise study before working on networking equipment. Roscosmos Flight Engineer Denis Matveev<\/a> checked out systems inside the Rassvet and Zarya modules before performing Russian orbital maintenance tasks.<\/p>\n
