NASA's SpaceX Crew-4 Undocking & Departure | International Space Station

NASA's SpaceX Crew-4 Undocking & Departure | International Space Station

The SpaceX Dragon Freedom spacecraft with NASA astronauts Bob Hines, Kjell Lindgren, and Jessica Watkins, as well as European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti of Italy inside undocked from the space-facing port of the International Space Station’s Harmony module at 12:05 p.m. EDT to complete a nearly six-month science mission.

NASA will continue to provide live coverage until Freedom splashes down at approximately 4:55 p.m. EDT near Jacksonville off the coast of Florida and the Crew-4 astronauts are recovered.

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-4 mission launched Apr. 27, 2022, on a Falcon 9 rocket from the NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida and docked to the International Space Station later the same day.

Dragon’s hatch closing, undocking, and splashdown coverage is airing live on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website. NASA also will host an audio-only post-splashdown news teleconference.

An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the International Space Station (ISS). The principals are the space agencies of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada. The ISS has been the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken.
