The Crew-5 astronauts returned to Earth on the evening of Saturday, March 11, after spending the last five months aboard the International Space Station. Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada of NASA, Koichi Wakata of JAXA, and Anna Kikina of Roscosmos undocked their Crew Dragon, C210 Endurance, early on Saturday at 2:20 AM EST (07:20 UTC).
Once Endurance undocked from the PMA-2 forward docking port on the Station’s Harmony node module, the spacecraft backed away and progressively drifted further from the Station. Following a nominal set of EOM (End Of Mission) events, splashdown occurred Saturday at 9:02 PM EST (02:02 UTC Sunday, March 12).
