SpaceX Capsule Safely Returns Four Astronauts to Earth
SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule successfully returned four astronauts to Earth on Saturday, after a five-month mission at the International Space Station (ISS). The astronauts, who were part of the Crew-2 mission, landed safely in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Southern California. The Crew-2 mission was a joint effort between NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency. The astronauts were tasked with relieving the crew of Boeing's Starliner, which had experienced technical issues during its test flight. The safe return of the Crew-2 astronauts marks another milestone for SpaceX, which has been working closely with NASA to develop and operate the Crew Dragon spacecraft for human spaceflight. This mission is the latest in a series of successful crew rotations between the ISS and Earth, demonstrating the reliability and capabilities of the Crew Dragon system.
