NASA's SpaceX Crew-5 Recovery Operations | International Space Station

NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Koichi Wakata, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina (Russia) splashed down safely in the SpaceX Dragon Endurance in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Tampa, Florida, at 9:02 p.m. EST on Saturday, March 11, 2023, after 157 days in space.

Teams on the Shannon recovery ship, including two fast boats, secured the 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 Shannon with the astronauts inside. Once on the main deck, the crew was removed from the spacecraft and receive medical checks before taking a helicopter ride to Tampa to board a plane for Houston.

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft completed its deorbit ahead of splashdown at 9:02 p.m. EST, March 11, 2023, in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Tampa, Florida.

Four minutes before splashdown, the drogue parachutes deployed at 18,000 feet in altitude while Dragon was moving approximately 350 miles per hour, and less than a minute later, the main parachutes deployed at about 6,000 feet in altitude while the spacecraft was moving approximately 119 miles per hour. 

Support teams arrived via helicopter to the SpaceX recovery ship Shannon to prepare for the landing of the SpaceX Dragon Endurance spacecraft.

A Tour of NASA’s Solar Eclipse Map for 2023 & 2024 | NASA Goddard

A Tour of NASA’s Solar Eclipse Map for 2023 & 2024 | NASA Goddard

Two solar eclipses will cross the United States in 2023 and 2024. On October 14, 2023, an annular solar eclipse will create a “ring of fire” in the sky from Oregon to Texas. On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will darken the skies from Texas to Maine. On both dates, all 48 contiguous states in the U.S. will experience a partial solar eclipse.

A map developed using data from a variety of NASA sources shows both eclipse paths as dark bands. Outside those paths, yellow and purple lines show how much of the Sun will become blocked by the Moon during the partial eclipses.

View and download the eclipse map here: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5073

This video zooms in to different parts of the map, explaining these and other features that describe what observers across the country can expect to see during each eclipse.

Homebound: NASA's SpaceX Crew-5 Hatch Closure | International Space Station

The hatch of SpaceX’s Crew-5 “Endurance” Dragon spacecraft, with NASA astronauts Nicole Aunapu Mann and Josh Cassada, JAXA astronaut Koichi Wakata (Japan) and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina (Russia), was closed on March 11, 2023, at 12:29 a.m. EST. Crew-5 is SpaceX’s fifth operational mission for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program (CCP).

The SpaceX Dragon Crew-5 “Endurance” spacecraft then undocked from the forward-facing port of the International Space Station’s Harmony module at 2:20 a.m. EST to complete a nearly  six-month science mission. 

NASA TV coverage will resume at 8 p.m. Saturday, March 11, 2023, until Endurance splashes down at approximately 9:02 p.m. EST near Tampa off the coast of Florida and Crew-5 members are recovered.  

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-5 mission launched Oct. 5, 2022, on a Falcon 9 rocket from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida and docked to the space station the next day.

NASA Analog Missions: Q&A with Crew Isolated in HERA Habitat (C6M4) | JSC

NASA Analog Missions: Q&A with Crew Isolated in HERA Habitat (C6M4) | JSC

Crew members Sandra Herrmann and Katie Koube, from HERA Campaign 6 Mission 4, answer questions from students all over the world. 

NASA’s “Groundlink” series connects students with crew currently inside NASA’s Human Exploration Research Analog, or HERA, a habitat here on Earth. Through simulation of long-term human space travel, these crew are on a mission to help scientists learn more about how isolation, confinement, and remote conditions will affect astronauts on Artemis missions to the Moon and on future missions to Mars. 

Similar to educational Downlinks, which connect students with astronauts aboard the International Space Station, Groundlinks give students the opportunity to ask HERA crew their questions. Through the crew’s answers, students can learn more about how NASA prepares humans to live and work in space. 

Students can submit questions to analog crew members on HERA’s website: https://www.nasa.gov/analogs/hera

NASA's Human Research Program pursues methods and technologies to support safe, productive human space travel. Through science conducted in laboratories, ground-based analogs, and the International Space Station, this team scrutinizes how spaceflight affects human bodies and behaviors. Such research drives NASA's quest to innovate ways that keep astronauts healthy and mission-ready as space travel expands to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

NASA’s X-59 Supersonic Aircraft: The Quiet Crew | Rose Blomquist Profile

In this episode of The Quiet Crew, you will meet Rose Blomquist, the power distribution lead for the Quesst mission. Rose loves to explore new places and try new things, whether it is scaling Mount Whitney, snowboarding, or visiting national parks. She is part of the crew on a mission to transform aviation as NASA and communities in the U.S. work together to verify that the X-59’s quiet, supersonic design can turn a sonic boom into a sonic thump. This new technology, along with a potential change in regulations, will allow airliners to fly faster over land, cutting passenger travel time in half without disturbing people on the ground.

NASA's Space to Ground: Wrapping Up | Week of March 10, 2023

NASA's Space to Ground: Wrapping Up | Week of March 10, 2023

NASA's Space to Ground is your weekly update on what's happening aboard the International Space Station. Four Expedition 68 crew members are nearing the end of their stay aboard the International Space Station this weekend. Their replacements are completing their first week aboard the orbital outpost and getting up to speed with life in space.

The SpaceX Crew Dragon Endurance with four crewmates is targeted to depart the space station at 2:05 a.m. EST on Saturday, March 11, 2023, and return to Earth less than 24 hours later. NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada will command and pilot Endurance respectively flanked by Koichi Wakata of JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) and Anna Kikina of Roscosmos (Russia). The foursome is due to splashdown off the coast of Florida at 9:19 p.m. on Saturday.

The quartet blasted off toward the orbiting lab as the SpaceX Crew-5 mission on Oct. 5, 2022, and docked to the Harmony module’s forward port on Oct. 6. A variety of crew ships and space freighters arrived and departed, numerous spacewalks were conducted, and a multitude of advanced space research took place during Crew-5’s five-month-long stay in space.
