Watch SpaceX’s Crew-8 astronauts head home to Earth on Oct. 13


SpaceX’s Crew-8 astronaut mission begin the trip home to Earth Sunday morning (Oct. 13), and you can watch the action live.

Crew-8’s Dragon capsule, named Endeavour, is scheduled to undock from the International Space Station (ISS) at 7:05 a.m. EDT (1105 GMT) on Sunday and splash down off the coast of Florida no earlier than 3:38 p.m. EDT (1938 GMT) on Monday (Oct. 14).

You can watch those milestones live via the NASA+ streaming service, and here at Space.com if, as expected, the agency makes its webcasts available.
