NASA’s Dragon capsule has successfully splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico, marking the end of Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore’s nine-month mission. Following a brief blackout, signal was reacquired as the capsule cleared Earth’s atmosphere. Parachutes deployed flawlessly, ensuring a controlled descent. Recovery teams have reached the site and are conducting final safety checks. This moment underscores SpaceX’s precision in human spaceflight, bringing another mission to a safe and successful conclusion as astronauts prepare to exit the capsule after critical assessments.
