SpaceX Crew-4 Dragon & Astronaut Recovery | International Space Station

SpaceX Crew-4 Dragon & Astronaut Recovery | International Space Station

Enjoy the fun timelapse (accelerated) footage! NASA astronauts Bob Hines, Kjell Lindgren, and Jessica Watkins, as well as European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti of Italy splashed down safely in the SpaceX Dragon Freedom in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida, on October 14, 2022, at 4:55 p.m. EDT after 170 days in space.

Teams on the Megan recovery ship, including two fast boats, secured Dragon and ensured the spacecraft was safe for the recovery effort. As the fast boat teams completed their work, the recovery ship moved into position to hoist Dragon onto the main deck of Megan with the astronauts inside. Once on the main deck, the crew were removed from the spacecraft (egress) and received medical checks before a helicopter ride to Jacksonville.
