NASA’s SpaceX Crew-8 astronauts completed their return journey from the International Space Station, safely splashing down off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, in the early hours of October 25.

The Dragon spacecraft carried NASA astronauts Matt Dominick, Mike Barratt, Jeanette Epps, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin back to Earth.

The descent was marked by the deployment of parachutes before the final splashdown, where recovery teams quickly secured the spacecraft. One by one, the astronauts were carefully assisted from the capsule after their mission conducting critical research to further human space exploration and contribute to advancements on Earth.
