On Saturday, May 1, a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft will depart from the International Space Station (ISS) carrying four astronauts on their journey home to Earth, with splashdown off the coast of Florida happening early morning ET. This will mark the completion of Crew-1, the first crewed mission for the Crew Dragon, and NASA will be airing the departure from the station and the splashdown of the astronauts in the ocean off the coast of Florida. The four astronauts returning to Earth are NASA’s Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker, plus the Japanese space agency’s Soichi Noguchi. These four were on board the Crew Dragon for its first operational mission launch in November last year, following a successful crewed test flight over the summer.
