A SpaceX Dragon capsule carrying NASA’s Crew-10 astronauts splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean off Southern California on 9 August, ending a 146-day stay on the International Space Station. Recovery teams retrieved the spacecraft shortly after the 08:33 a.m. local-time landing, concluding NASA’s 10th commercial crew rotation mission. The returning crew comprised NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov. The quartet undocked from the orbital outpost on 8 August and completed an almost 18-hour return journey before parachuting to the ocean surface. Crew-10 launched on 14 March to relieve Boeing Starliner test pilots Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, whose capsule problems had prolonged their ISS stay. During 2,368 orbits, the astronauts travelled nearly 62.8 million miles and conducted more than 200 scientific investigations, including studies on plant growth and cellular behaviour in microgravity. NASA said the crew will discuss their mission during a news conference at Johnson Space Center on 20 August. The agency and SpaceX are targeting no earlier than 21 August for the next cargo flight to the station, as commercial partnerships continue to provide routine access to low-Earth orbit.
