Astronaut “Crew-4” is on his way back to Earth

Date:

Three Americans and an Italian are on their way back to Earth from the International Space Station. The return of NASA astronauts Kjell Lindgren, Bob Hines and astronaut Jessica Watkins, as well as ESA’s Samantha Cristoforetti, is expected off the coast of the US state of Florida.

On Friday, images from the American space agency NASA showed how the Dragon spacecraft, owned by the private company SpaceX, broke away from the human outpost about 400 kilometers above the Earth’s surface.

Crew 4 replaced Crew 3 on the ISS at the end of April. “Crew-5” arrived at the space station late last week.

Russian cosmonaut Sergei Prokopjew has now taken over command aboard from Cristoforetti – she was the first European ISS commander.
