NASA's "Space to Ground": In The Holiday Spirit | Week of Dec. 15, 2023

NASA's "Space to Ground": In The Holiday Spirit | Week of  Dec. 15, 2023

NASA's Space to Ground is your weekly update on what's happening aboard the International Space Station. A U.S. cargo spacecraft is poised to undock from the International Space Station and return to Earth as mission managers monitor weather conditions at the return splashdown zones. Meanwhile, the seven Expedition 70 residents turned their attention to a variety of health activities and lab maintenance activities.

NASA and SpaceX are postponing the Saturday, Dec. 16, 2023, undocking of a SpaceX Dragon cargo resupply spacecraft from the International Space Station due to unfavorable weather conditions as a cold front passes through the splashdown zones off the coast of Florida.

Joint teams continue to evaluate weather conditions to determine the best opportunity for Dragon to autonomously undock from the space station with the next available opportunity no earlier than 5:05 p.m. EST Sunday, Dec. 17.

After re-entering Earth’s atmosphere, the spacecraft will splash down off the coast of Florida.
