On Thursday, May 5 at 1:20 a.m. ET, Dragon and the Crew-3 astronauts autonomously undocked from the International Space Station to return to Earth. After performing a series of departure burns to move away from the space station, Dragon will conduct multiple orbit-lowering maneuvers, jettison its trunk, and re-enter Earth's atmosphere for splashdown off the coast of Florida approximately 23.5 hours later on Friday, May 6 at 12:43 a.m. ET, 4:43 UTC.
Aboard the spacecraft will be Crew-3 astronauts Raja Chari, Tom Marshburn, Kayla Barron, and Matthias Maurer, who flew to the space station on Dragon when Falcon 9 launched the spacecraft from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday, November 10, 2021 at 9:03 p.m. ET.
Live webcast coverage of Crew-3's return to Earth will resume about one hour prior to splashdown.
