After 199 days in orbit, the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft returned to earth. The capsule, after detaching itself at 20.05 from the International Space Station (ISS), landed off the coast of Florida, at 1.33 Italian time. The video was broadcast via Twitter by Elon Musk’s company.
In addition to the French astronaut of the European Space Agency Thomas Pesquet, on board were the Americans Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur and the Japanese Akihiko Hoshide.
