WASHINGTON. Oct 24 (Interfax) - SpaceX's Crew Dragon-8 spacecraft carrying a crew of three U.S. astronauts and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin back to Earth undocked from the International Space Station (ISS), the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said.
The spacecraft undocked from the ISS at 5:05 p.m. EDT on Wednesday and is expected to splash down off the Florida coast in the Gulf of Mexico at 3:29 a.m. EDT on October 25.
Besides Grebenkin, the Dragon Crew 8 mission includes NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt and Jeanette Epps. They arrived at the ISS in early March.
The undocking was initially planned for October 8 but was delayed nine times due to a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico.
