NASA's SpaceX Crew-3 Dragon Undocking | International Space Station

The SpaceX Dragon Endurance crew ship carrying four Crew 3 astronauts back to Earth is pictured from a window on the International Space Station following its undocking from the Harmony module's forward port. Crew 3 Commander Raja Chari led Pilot Tom Marshburn and Mission Specialists Kayla Barron and Matthias Maurer inside Endurance as they reentered Earth's atmosphere and parachuted to a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Tampa, Florida, United States, the following day.

An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the International Space Station (ISS). The principals are the space agencies of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada. The ISS has been the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken.
