Dragon Undocks from Station, Heads for Splashdown

The SpaceX Dragon crew spacecraft, with its nosecone open and carrying four Crew-11 members, departs the International Space Station shortly after undocking from the Harmony module’s space-facing port. NASA+

At 5:20 p.m. EST, NASA’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission undocked from the International Space Station’s Harmony module aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.

Following coverage of undocking, NASA’s return coverage continues with real-time audio-only, and full coverage will resume at the start of the splashdown broadcast. The audio-only feed includes astronaut conversations with mission control and live external video from the orbiting laboratory.

Live return coverage will resume at 2:15 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 15 on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and the agency’s YouTube channel until Dragon splashes down at approximately 3:41 a.m. off the coast of California and crew members are safely recovered. Learn how to watch NASA content through a variety of online platforms, including social media.

The mission is returning home earlier than originally planned as teams monitored a medical concern with a crew member currently living and working aboard the orbital laboratory. The crew member is stable.
