NASA's SpaceX Crew-6 Departure | International Space Station

NASA's SpaceX Crew-6 Departure | International Space Station

The hatch of SpaceX’s Crew-6 “Endeavour” Crew Dragon spacecraft, with NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Warren (Woody) Hoburg, Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev of Russia, and United Arab Emirates astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, was closed on Sept. 3, 2023, at 09:19 UTC (05:19 EDT). Crew-6 is SpaceX’s sixth operational mission for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft undocked from the forward-facing port of the International Space Station’s Harmony module at 7:05 a.m. EDT to complete a  six-month science mission.

NASA TV coverage will resume at 11 p.m. ET Sunday until Endeavour splashes down at approximately 12:07 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 4, near Tampa off the coast of Florida and Crew-6 members are recovered.

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 mission launched March 2, 2023, on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida and docked to the International Space Station the next 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.
