Frenchman Thomas Pesquet and three other astronauts will leave the International Space Station on Sunday and land ‘at the earliest’ Monday at 12.14 GMT (13.14 GMT) off the coast of Florida. This is reported by the American space agency NASA.
The crew of SpaceX’s second Crew Dragon — which includes Americans Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur and Japan’s Akihiko Hoshide in addition to Pesquet — spent more than six months in space. Meanwhile, the crew of the Crew Dragon-3 – the American captain Raja Chari, pilot Thomas Marshburn, Kayla Barron and the German Matthias Maurer on behalf of the European Space Agency (ESA) – is preparing to make their turn to the ISS. That departure, which had to be postponed several times, is not before Wednesday at the earliest.
