SpaceX Crew-11 Dragon undocks from ISS, returning earlier than planned

At 5:20 p.m. EST, NASA’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission undocked from the International Space Station’s Harmony module aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.

Following coverage of undocking, NASA’s return coverage continued with a real-time audio-only feed that includes astronaut conversations with mission control and live external video from the orbiting laboratory; full coverage will resume at the start of the splashdown broadcast.

Live return coverage is scheduled to resume at 2:15 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 15 on NASA+, Amazon Prime and the agency’s YouTube channel, and will continue until Dragon splashes down at approximately 3:41 a.m. off the coast of California and crew members are safely recovered.

The mission is returning home earlier than originally planned as teams monitored a medical concern with a crew member currently living and working aboard the orbital laboratory; the crew member is stable.
