🌊 Splashdown! SpaceX Dragon Returns to Earth Loaded with Science 🛰️
At 1:44 a.m. EDT, the uncrewed SpaceX Dragon spacecraft splashed down off the coast of California, completing NASA’s 32nd commercial resupply mission (CRS-32) to the International Space Station.
Earlier on May 23, Dragon undocked at 12:05 p.m. from the zenith port of the ISS’s Harmony module, ending its month-long stay in orbit. On board were over 6,700 pounds of precious cargo, including:
👩🔬 Scientific experiments conducted in microgravity
🧪 Technology demonstrations
🔧 Equipment and crew supplies for Earth-based analysis
Dragon’s return helps scientists continue learning how space affects biology, materials, and future tech. From launch to splashdown, CRS-32 is another milestone in SpaceX’s partnership with NASA — delivering, discovering, and returning critical data from Earth orbit.
