NASA said that one astronaut remains hospitalized Friday, hours after a four-person crew from the International Space Station splashed down off the coast of Florida.
A NASA astronaut remained hospitalized Friday evening following the delayed return of a four-person crew from the International Space Station earlier in the morning. The crew consisting of NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin splashed down off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, around 3:30 a.m. ET. Friday.
The astronauts’ SpaceX Dragon capsule, which undocked from the space station Wednesday evening, experienced a normal reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere and landing that was 'without incident,' NASA said. 'We’re grateful to Ascension Sacred Heart for its support during this time, and we are proud of our team for its quick action to ensure the safety of our crew members,' the agency added. The astronauts spent eight months on the space station, two months longer than expected.
