NASA’s SpaceX Crew-7: Earth Return Highlights | International Space Station

NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Andreas Mogensen of Denmark, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov of Russia returned to Earth for a parachute-assisted splashdown off the coast of Florida at 5:47 a.m. EDT Tuesday, March 12, 2024. 

They completed their six-month mission living and working aboard the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge and to demonstrate new technologies for future human and robotic exploration flights. This is part of NASA’s Moon and Mars exploration approach, including lunar missions through NASA’s Artemis program.

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.
