The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev completed its deorbit burn as expected ahead of splashdown, NASA reported on October 8, 2026.

According to NASA, the drogue parachutes were to deploy four minutes before splashdown at an altitude of about 18,000 feet, while Dragon was moving approximately 350 mph. Less than a minute later, at about 6,000 feet, the main parachutes were to deploy with the spacecraft moving approximately 120 mph.

NASA said its live coverage was being streamed through a variety of platforms.
