A Space X Dragon capsule undocked from the International Space Station on Saturday to bring the four-strong crew of NASA's Crew-5 mission back home after a five-month stay onboard the ISS.  Two NASA astronauts, a JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut and a Roscosmos cosmonaut were set to return to Earth on Saturday evening.

The Crew-5 members arrived at the ISS on October 6, 2022 and have since conducted around 200 science and technology experiments.Designated 'splashdown' sites for the arrival of the Dragon capsule have been established around the Florida coast and the Gulf of Mexico.
