The Dragon capsule will now return to earth off the California coast, and SpaceX is talking to the Australian government about landing its next spacecraft--the giant Starship--off its east coast. What goes up, must come down under.
Starship then coasted for about 40 minutes in space at an altitude of 130 miles above Earth before trying a controlled reentry. The craft successfully flipped and initiated the engine burn before landing in the Indian Ocean, according to SpaceX's data, though camera views cut in and out dur...
Soviet Space Capsule Makes Safe Landing; Malfunctions Had Stalled Craft in OrbitMichael DobbsGary Lee
It was the first American-made capsule designed for astronauts to make a ground landing after returning from orbit. NASA’s early crew capsules — Mercury, Gemini and Apollo — all had splashdowns. SpaceX’s Dragon capsule, which made its orbital debut last winter with a test dummy,...

Re-entry and landing will also be into the ocean, with a nimble support vessel ready and waiting to crane the Neptune capsule on board. First flights are planned to soar high above Florida. ‘Looking down on something you recognise like the Florida Keys is important,’ s...
Spaceport Voyager, off the coast of St. Petersburg, Florida. The capsule proceeded to reach the target altitude of approximately 100,000 feet, after which it performed a controlled descent back to its liftoff area. It then safely made a splashdown landing, and was retrieved by the ship's ...
Probably the world’s smallest underwater hotel and one of the road builders of the underwater architecture industry, The Utter Inn, is located in the Lake Mälaren in Västerås, Sweden. The hotel is a cabin complex that has an outdoor patio and an underwater sleeping berth capsule thr...
He developed an AI-based system to monitor China's first Mars probe, "saved" satellites that lost control in space and successfully predicted the landing location of a Shenzhou manned spaceship return capsule, narrowing it down to a record margin of error of 374 meters from the pr...
Scientists and engineers are ecstatic with the landing and overall condition of the Stardust sample return capsule recovered today in Utah after a 2.9 billion mile round-trip space voyage. A bit of luck also played a part too. "This thing went like clockwork," said Tom Duxbury, Stardust pro...
