SpaceX’s Crew-10 astronauts will head home to Earth today (Aug. 7), and you can watch the action live.<\/p>\n
The Crew-10 quartet’s Crew Dragon capsule, named Endurance, is scheduled to undock from the International Space Station<\/a> (ISS) today at 12:05 p.m. EDT (1605 GMT) and splash down 24 hours later.<\/p>\n You can watch it all live via NASA<\/a>. Space.com will carry the feed as well, if the agency makes it available.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n NASA’s stream will start at 9:45 a.m. EDT (1345 GMT) to cover the closing of the hatches between Endurance<\/a> and the ISS, which is expected to occur at 10:20 a.m. EDT (1420 GMT).<\/p>\n Coverage will resume at 11:45 a.m. EDT (1545 GMT), 20 minutes before undocking. There will then be a lengthy break, with the webcast picking up again on Friday (Aug. 8) at 10:45 a.m. EDT (1445 GMT) for reentry and splashdown activities.<\/p>\n Splashdown is expected on Friday at 11:58 a.m. EDT (1558 GMT), in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. NASA will also hold a post-landing press conference on Friday at 1:30 p.m. EDT (1730 GMT), if all goes to plan.<\/p>\n None of this is set in stone, however; the departure date could be pushed back if bad weather crops up in the splashdown zone.<\/p>\n Crew-10 launched<\/a> on March 14 atop a SpaceX<\/a> Falcon 9 rocket and arrived at the ISS two days later. The mission consists of NASA’s Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Takuya Onishi of JAXA<\/a> (the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) and Kirill Peskov of Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos<\/a>. McClain is Crew-10’s commander, Ayers is the pilot and Onishi and Peskov are mission specialists.<\/p>\n Their replacements are the four astronauts of SpaceX’s Crew-11 mission, who reached the orbiting lab<\/a> on Saturday morning (Aug. 2).<\/p>\n
