当航天器返回地球时,实验又开始重新体验重力的影响。Splashdown可以快速动作,将样品和实验返回给世界各地的研究人员。在SpaceX船将胶囊从水里捞出后,一个等候小组将对时间要求严格的科学从航天器中取出,然后将其装载到等候的直升机上。直升飞机降落几个小时后,这架直升机将把这种科学知识传递到岸上。任何剩余的科学货...
SpaceX Dragon Cargo Capsule Heading Back to Earth Splashdown! SpaceX's Dragon Returns to Earth from Space Station The Dragon capsule is returning to Earth with about 2,670 pounds (1,210 kg) of cargo, including a set of LEGO toys that have been on the station for the last two years...

The Dragon began its journey back to Earth at 7:04 am (1104 GMT), when the US space agency broadcast images of the white capsule floating away from thespace station's robotic arm. The vessel, aided by parachutes, splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Long Beach, California...
SpaceX collected Crew Dragon from the ocean about one hour after splashdown. The capsule is to be returned to Port Canaveral, Florida, where inspections will begin ahead of SpaceX's next key test, an "in-flight abort," which will happen before the Demo-2 mission. Stich said the Crew Dra...
Eight minutes later, right on time, the Crew Dragon's four main parachutes unfurled and fully inflated, lowering the capsule to a smooth splashdown at 12:43 a.m. to close out its maiden voyage. Commander Raja Chari smiles and waves to support crews after being helped from the Crew Dragon...
