After over six months of searching on the tropical station, the fourth long-term astronaut team flown by SpaceX safely descended from the International Space Station and touched down in the Atlantic Ocean off Florida, according to the Reuters news agency.
After a five-hour solo departure from the International Space Station, three American astronauts from NASA and an Italian colleague from the European Space Agency are in the Freedom capsule with an umbrella.
The report from the source Splashdown was broadcast under a clear sky around 4:55 pm EST (2055 GMT), on the air through the joint network broadcast between NASA and Spacex.
A generation of NASA astronauts, including 49-year-old Lindger, 34-year-old Jessica Watkins, 47-year-old Pop Heinz, and 45-year-old Italian Samantha Christophty, who led the international space station mission, make up the crew of Astronauts Freedom, which launched into orbit on April 27. Watkins is the first African American woman to serve on a lengthy mission to the International Space Station.
