‘Splashdown confirmed’ – SpaceX crew returns to Earth
SpaceX’s Polaris Dawn crew has returned to Earth after five days in orbit, following a historic mission that marks the world’s first commercial space flight.
The Dragon capsule splashed down off the coast of Florida shortly after 03:37EDT (07:37GMT), according to a live broadcast of the event by SpaceX.
“Splashdown of Dragon is confirmed! Welcome back to Earth,” SpaceX said on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
US space agency Nasa said the mission represented a “major leap forward” in the space industry.
