Expedition 73 flight engineer and NASA astronaut Anne McClain: "Hard to believe we are a week from our scheduled return, but we are! Crew-10 is scheduled to undock NET 1800 GMT on August 6, splashing down 6.5 hours later off the coast of California. We are busy in preparations for Crew-11 arrival and our departure. Yesterday, we checked out our suits and comm systems to make sure we do not have any surprises next week. Good checks all around, and it was fun to be back with the crew in Dragon."
