Sunita Williams SpaceX Crew-9 Earth Return Live: Sunita Williams's return marks a significant milestone, as her mission was originally intended to last only eight days. However, technical issues with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft necessitated a prolonged stay in orbit.
The initial drogue parachutes have been deployed to slow down the vehicle that has just cleared the Earth's atmosphere. The parachutes will slow down the spacecraft for a water landing in the Atlantic Ocean. The drogues were deployed at an altitude of five kilometres above the surface.
Nasa mission control said that the weather at the splashdown site was looking favourable. The Crew Dragon’s systems are also performing well and the ship tasked to recover the spacecraft is ready to meet the crew off Florida’s Gulf Coast. We have the first visuals from inside the Dragon spacecraft.
