A picture perfect splashdown 🌊 Welcome home, #Crew9! NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 mission carrying nasaastronauts Butch Wilmore, Suni Williams, Nick Hague, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov splashed down off the coast of Florida near Tallahassee at 5:57 pm EDT (2157 UTC). After a long-duration science expedition aboard the iss, the crew completed hundreds of science experiments and technological demonstrations that will benefit humanity, and prepare us for future deep space missions. Video description: Framed by a light blue sky and tranquil azure sea, the SpaceX Dragon Freedom spacecraft is seen descending. It is suspended by four large orange-and-white parachutes. The drone capturing this footage tracks to the right as the capsule touches the surface of the water, and its chutes follow gracefully.
