Description: SpaceX, Axiom Space, and NASA are targeting no earlier than Sunday, April 24 at 8:55 p.m. ET (00:55 UTC Monday, April 25) for Dragon and the Ax-1 astronauts to depart from the International Space Station. After performing a series of burns to move away from the space station, Dragon will conduct multiple orbit-lowering maneuvers, jettison its trunk, and re-enter Earth’s atmosphere before landing off the coast of Florida 16 hours later at approximately 1:06 p.m. ET on Monday, April 25. Live webcast coverage will begin about fifteen minutes prior to undocking and resume about one hour before prior to splashdown.
