NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 Hatch Close

The four members of NASA's SpaceX Crew-10 mission — NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov — prepare to head to Earth as the hatches are closed on their spacecraft. Undocking is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 8, at 6:05 p.m. ET (2205 UTC).

During their nearly five months on the space station, Crew-10 contributed to the more than 200 scientific demonstrations and experiments taking place in orbit. These included physiological and psychological studies, material flammability tests for future spacecraft designs, and testing a backup lunar navigation solution.
