Nice to finally see Megan, #SpaceX's Dragon recovery vessel, arrive at Port Canaveral to unload after a safe and successful reentry of #NASA's #Crew6. 🚀

The crew of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 mission will discuss their six-month science mission aboard the International Space Station during a news conference at 2:15 p.m. EDT Tuesday, Sept. 12, at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

The event will air live on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website. Watch online at:

https://www.nasa.gov/live

NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg and UAE (United Arab Emirates) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi will speak about their mission for the first time following their return to Earth. Fellow crew member Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev is unable to participate in the news conference due to travel.

To participate virtually, media must contact the newsroom at NASA Johnson no later than two hours before the start of the event by calling 281-483-5111 or emailing: [email protected]. To ask questions, reporters must dial into the news conference by 2:05 p.m. the day of the event. Questions also may be submitted on social media using #AskNASA.

Crew-6 returned to Earth aboard SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft splashing down at 12:17 a.m., Sept. 4, off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida, and flew back to Houston shortly afterward.

The four crewmates traveled 78,875,292 statute miles during 2,976 orbits around the Earth and approximately 186 days in orbit. It was the first spaceflight for Hoburg, Alneyadi, and Fedyaev, and the fourth for Bowen.

During the mission, Bowen and Hoburg completed two spacewalks, and Alneyadi became the first UAE astronaut to conduct a spacewalk. With 10 spacewalks throughout his missions, Bowen ties the record for most excursions by a U.S. astronaut, also held by four others. He ranks third on the all-time list for cumulative hours of spacewalking.

While aboard the station, Crew-6 contributed to hundreds of experiments and technology demonstrations, including conducting a student robotic challenge, studying plant genetic adaptations to space, and monitoring human health in microgravity to prepare for exploration beyond low Earth orbit and to benefit life on Earth. The crew released Saskatchewan’s first satellite, which tests a new radiation detection and protection system derived from Melanin that’s found in many organisms including humans.

Crew-6 spent about a week with the newly arrived crew of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-7 mission that docked to the station Aug. 27, handing over ongoing tasks, and introducing two first-time explorers to the orbital outpost. Both missions are part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.

This is last photo I took of the International Space Station from the SpaceX capsule Endeavor. The station appears bright because of the reflected sunlight. And this is exactly what we normally see from earth during a visible pass. We see the station as a moving star before it sets due to the Sun disappearing behind earth’s curvature.

The name of the spacecraft is Endeavour.

The trunk from the Crew-6 Dragon, tracked as 2023-027B, re-entered the atmosphere on 4 February 2024. It had been jettisoned on 4 September 2023 in an initial orbit of 402 km by 409 km.
