NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 Undocking

NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Suni Williams, Butch Wilmore and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov undocked from the zenith port of the International Space Station’s Harmony module on March 18 ahead of their return to Earth for a parachute-assisted splashdown off the coast of Florida March 18. Crew-9 was completing a long-duration mission living and working aboard the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies for future human and robotic exploration flights as part of NASA’s Moon and Mars exploration approach, including lunar missions through NASA’s Artemis program.
