This will conclude a six-month stay on the International Space Station for the four astronauts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ISS Departure:<\/strong> Monday, November 8, 2:05 p.m. EST<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Splashdown:<\/strong> Monday, November 8, 10:33 p.m. EST<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-23983\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those of you who have been following the launch of&nbsp;SpaceX\u2019s Crew-3&nbsp;mission will realize that this departure is happening before Crew-3\u2019s launch. This is due to the almost two-week delay in launch, and NASA wants to&nbsp;get Crew-2 back home while weather conditions allow it.<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<script type=\"text\/plain\">\n\t\t\twindow.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tadSlotsConfig.push( {\n\t\t\t\tslotID: '\/1049447\/Outbrain',\n\t\t\t\tslotName: 'div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-23983',\n\t\t\t\tsizes: [300, 250],\n\t\t\t\tslotPosition: 'mid_article'\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This timeline of events is called an \u201cindirect handoff\u201d and comes with the downside of not allowing crews to exchange information and advice in person. However, the three-person crew from MS-18 and MS-19 will still greet them when Crew-3 arrives. This is also not an early return, as the astronauts of Crew-2 have been on the station for over six months. In addition, the&nbsp;210-day limit&nbsp;that Dragon is designed for is approaching, and NASA rather not keep Crew-2 and its Dragon in space longer than it has to.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spacex-s-crew-2-depart-from-the-iss\">SpaceX\u2019s Crew-2 depart from the ISS<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today SpaceX\u2019s Crew-2 will suit up and get in their Dragon spacecraft for their return home. Unlike launch, this will be a relatively quick event. Taking just under 10 hours between hatch close to splashdown. Below are the times of each event and when its coverage begins:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hatch close: 12:40 p.m. EST, coverage begins at 11:45 a.m. EST<\/li>\n<li>Undocking: 2:05 p.m. EST, coverage begins at 1:45 p.m. EST (NASA will provide continuous coverage from undocking until splashdown)<\/li>\n<li>Splashdown: 10:33 p.m. EST<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coverage of the return of Crew-2 can be found wherever NASA TV is streamed, on their website, YouTube, and their social media channels. Your cable provider may also have the NASA TV channel available. You can also follow along with events in our live updates blog below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SpaceX will also be providing the same coverage of Crew-2\u2019s return on their YouTube channel, their hatch closing stream is currently unlisted but here is the link. Finally, check out Space Explored coverage of the departure on our 24\/7 ISS stream.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-will-spacex-s-splashdown-at\">Where will SpaceX\u2019s splashdown at?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SpaceX\u2019s Crew-2 will splashdown off the coast of Pensacola in the Gulf of Mexico. Out of the three crewed Dragons to have returned space two out of the three have landed in the gulf. This is because of better recovery conditions and also allows recovery crews in the Atlantic to focus on Crew-3\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-live-updates-on-the-return-of-spacex-s-crew-2\">Live updates on the return of SpaceX\u2019s Crew-2<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spacex-crew-2-undocking-and-splashdown\">SpaceX Crew-2 undocking and splashdown<\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reentry-and-splashdown\">Reentry and splashdown<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>That will conclude tonights coverage of Crew-2\u2019s return from the ISS.<\/li>\n<li>And finally Mission Specialist Thomas Pesquet is out of Dragon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--obfuscated\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/default-spaceexplored-related-guide.png\" alt=\"Site default logo image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mission Specialist Akihiko Hoshide is next to be out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--obfuscated\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/default-spaceexplored-related-guide.png\" alt=\"Site default logo image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Commander Shane Kimbrough has now been removed from Endeavour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--obfuscated\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/default-spaceexplored-related-guide.png\" alt=\"Site default logo image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pilot Megan McArthur is out of the capsule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--obfuscated\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/default-spaceexplored-related-guide.png\" alt=\"Site default logo image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Endeavour\u2019s side hatch has been opened for the first time in about 199 days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"576\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1056 \/ 576;\" width=\"1056\" controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/11\/Screen-Recording-2021-11-08-at-10.12.40-PM.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Endeavour with its crew have been moved in closer to the center of the GO Navigator\u2019s deck.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--obfuscated\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/default-spaceexplored-related-guide.png\" alt=\"Site default logo image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dragon Endeavour has been lifted up onto GO Navigator\u2019s \u201cDragon Nest.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"576\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1056 \/ 576;\" width=\"1056\" controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/11\/Screen-Recording-2021-11-08-at-10.03.12-PM.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>GO Navigator has gotten much closer, SpaceX stated about five minutes from lift.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--obfuscated\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/default-spaceexplored-related-guide.png\" alt=\"Site default logo image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Looks like Crew-2 members are using the satellite phone built into the Dragon capsule.<\/li>\n<li>SpaceX\u2019s GO Navigator recovery ship is begining to backup to the spacecraft.<\/li>\n<li>Hypergolic fuel and ordinace checking is complete and nominal.
