The four SpaceX Crew-9 members are suited up in their Dragon pressure suits testing them for a fit check one week before their departure aboard the Dragon crew spacecraft. Clockwise from top left are, NASA astronauts Suni Williams, Butch Wilmore, and Nick Hague, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov of Russia. The Commercial Crew quartet is pictured inside the International Space Station's Destiny laboratory module.

At 1:05 a.m. EDT Tuesday, March 18, 2025, NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Suni Williams, and Butch Wilmore, along with Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov of Russia undocked from the space-facing port of International Space Station’s Harmony module aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. Dragon is expected to splash down at approximately 5:57 p.m. today off the coast of Florida, where the crew members will be safely recovered.

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.
