Watch NASA's SpaceX Crew-10 astronauts return to Earth
NASA's SpaceX Crew-10 astronauts are returning to Earth after a five-month stay on the International Space Station (ISS). The astronauts, which include NASA's Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, are scheduled to splash down off the coast of California at approximately 11:33 AM Eastern time. The Crew-10 mission was focused on expanding our understanding of the physiological and psychological changes that occur during long-duration space missions, as well as observing the flow of blood from the brain to the heart in microgravity. This will be NASA's first Commercial Crew mission to splash down in the Pacific Ocean, as previous capsules have landed off the coast of Florida. NASA will broadcast the crew's return, with coverage starting at 10:15 AM Eastern time, and will hold a teleconference after the astronauts have been retrieved.
