Watch SpaceX Dragon spacecraft undocking from Space Station with Ax-3 astronauts

SpaceX and NASA today conducted the undocking of the Dragon spacecraft from the International Space Station (ISS) carrying the Ax-3 mission crew.

On its way to Earth, Dragon will host four Ax-3 astronauts who flew to the space station via Falcon 9 rocket on January 18 from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Following the separation from the space station, the spacecraft will now perform three departure burns to move away and enter Earth’s atmosphere. It is set to splashdown off the coast of Florida approximately 47.5 hours later on Friday, February 9.

SpaceX and NASA scrubbed the Dragon splash down for at least three times due to unfavourable weather conditions but it’s finally heading back to Earth.

You can watch the Dragon’s separation from Space Station in the video linked below.
