NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Koichi Wakata, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina (Russia) splashed down safely in the SpaceX Dragon Endurance in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Tampa, Florida, at 9:02 p.m. EST on Saturday, March 11, 2023, after 157 days in space.
Teams on the Shannon recovery ship, including two fast boats, secured the Dragon and ensured the spacecraft was safe for the recovery effort. As the fast boat teams completed their work, the recovery ship moved into position to hoist Dragon onto the main deck of Shannon with the astronauts inside. Once on the main deck, the crew was removed from the spacecraft and receive medical checks before taking a helicopter ride to Tampa to board a plane for Houston.
