Exciting Coverage of NASA/SpaceX Dragon "Freedom" Deorbit and Splashdown

Get ready to witness a pivotal moment in space exploration as the NASA/SpaceX Dragon “Freedom” prepares for its descent back to Earth. Accompanying it are the Crew-9 astronauts: Hague, Gorbunov, Williams, and Wilmore, who are all set for this dramatic return.

The deorbit burn, crucial for starting their journey home, is precisely scheduled for 5:11 p.m. EDT. This maneuver will set the spacecraft on the exact trajectory required for a safe re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere. The anticipation is equally high for the splashdown event.

Arriving back to Earth’s surface, the splashdown is predicted to occur at 5:57 p.m. EDT during this first available window. This marks a significant event, combining advanced technology and the courageous spirit of space adventurers.
