A Historic Return Awaits!

The moment space enthusiasts have been waiting for is finally here! Crew-10 is set to bid farewell to the International Space Station (ISS) after an exhilarating five-month mission. This Friday, brace yourself for the live broadcasts of their journey home on NASA Plus, Amazon Prime, and various other streaming platforms.

What You Need to Know!

The crew's return was pushed back a day due to unfavorable winds at their splashdown zones off California's coast. But don’t worry—the weather will be closely monitored, and the exact location for splashdown will be confirmed as the undocking approaches.

The Crew-10 team, composed of NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichile Ayers, JAXA's Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos's Kirill Peskov, will return just one week after the arrival of their successors, Crew-11.
