Crew Crew Dragon left the lander

The crew of the manned spacecraft Crew Dragon left the capsule after splashdown

Rescuers retrieved the crew members of the Crew Dragon Endeavor from the landing capsule. Four astronauts successfully left the spacecraft, which splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, November 9. This was reported by Interfax with reference to NASA.

Crew members of the Crew Dragon Endeavor, who spent 199 days in orbit, returned to the descent capsule. Astronauts brought 240.5 kilograms of research results from the International Space Station (ISS).

The lander was lifted aboard the GO Navigator rescue vessel. After that, the crew was removed from the capsule. NASA noted that the operation to evacuate the astronauts after splashdown took an hour. After a medical examination, Crew Dragon Endeavor was sent ashore.

The ship carried NASA astronauts Megan MacArthur and Shane Kimbrow, ESA astronaut Tom Peske, and JAXA astronaut Akihiko Hoshide.

Previously, NASA announced the successful splashdown of the landing capsule off the coast of Florida. The device landed on the water after the deployment of parachutes.

Crew Dragon undocked from the ISS. Before de-orbiting, the spacecraft made a complete flyby of the station for photographing. NASA noted that this procedure was carried out for the first time since 2011. The ability to fly around the station was one of NASA's requirements for certification of the spacecraft.
