Live Coverage Underway of SpaceX Dragon Cargo Spacecraft Departure
Live coverage of the departure of SpaceX?s Dragon cargo spacecraft from the International Space Station is underway on NASA Television, the agency?s website, and the NASA app. Following commands from ground controllers at SpaceX in Hawthorne, California, Dragon will undock at 5:05 p.m. EST from the forward port of the station?s Harmony module and fire its thrusters to move a safe distance away from the station. After re-entering Earth?s atmosphere, the spacecraft will make a parachute-assisted splashdown off the coast of Florida on Friday, Dec. 22. NASA will not broadcast the splashdown, but updates will be posted on the agency?s space station blog.
