Watch with us as the four members of NASA's SpaceX Crew-9 mission—NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Suni Williams, Butch Wilmore, and cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov—return to Earth.
Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore began their mission at the International Space Station on June 6, 2024, arriving aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. Nick Hague and Aleksandr Gorbunov arrived at the station on Sept. 29, 2024.
Hague and Gorbunov launched to space aboard SpaceX's Dragon Freedom spacecraft, which has been docked to the station since September and is now bringing Crew-9 back home.
Crew-9 is scheduled to begin their deorbit burn at 5:11 p.m. EDT (2111 UTC) and splash down off the coast of Florida at 5:57 p.m. EDT (2157 UTC).
After splashdown, crews will retrieve the Dragon and its crew in a process scheduled to take approximately one hour.
