NASA announced that the SpaceX Crew-12 mission successfully undocked from the International Space Station on Wednesday to start its journey back to Earth. The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying four astronauts separated from the orbiting laboratory at 8:05 a.m. Eastern Time. The crew is scheduled to splash down off the California coast at approximately 11:34 a.m. Thursday, concluding a months-long expedition in space. The four-member team includes NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev. The mission originally launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on February 13. Ground teams from both NASA and SpaceX monitored the departure process closely as the spacecraft executed separation burns to distance itself safely from the station before beginning its return trajectory.
