According to the timeline, Nose cone closure scheduled at 13.11 UTC, after Deorbit burn and before reentry.

I captured #CrewDragon travelling a few seconds ahead of the International Space Station a few hours before reentry. The ISS is the brighter streak while Crew Dragon is the fainter one. The photo is two 5 second frames taken 12 seconds apart at 350mm. #SpaceX #DM1 #Demo1

Trunk sep less than 10 mins away.

Dragon in attitude for Trunk sep.

Trunk Separation confirmed. Five mins to the deorbit burn.

Dragon attitude change for the burn.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #336 on:** 03/08/2019 11:53 am »

Deorbit Burn underway. Over 15 mins of Draco forward thrusters firing retrograde. Will shave off a few hundred miles per hour, enough to allow Dragon to drop out of orbit and head towards her Atlantic Ocean splashdown target.

Go Searcher is ready to recover Dragon.
