International Space Station

The station faced a threat from space debris earlier this month after a Russian anti-satellite missile test created more than a thousand pieces of space junk.

The crew was told to shelter as a cluster of space junk from a Russian anti-satellite missile test was projected to pass close to the station.

The astronauts were at the International Space Station and splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico near Pensacola.

The Cargo Dragon capsule is carrying dozens of new science experiments to help researchers understand the biological challenges of spaceflight.

The new plan is to begin undocking on Saturday at 8:35 p.m. EST and splashdown at 2:57 a.m. on Sunday. This will be the first time since 1962 that a splashdown will occur at night.

It's the third flight of the Crew Dragon capsule since last May, and the first time an American capsule has been reused in decades. There are now more astronauts than beds on the space station.

The new arrivals — representing the U.S., France and Japan — will spend six months at the space station.

The company's third crewed spacecraft took off from Florida early Friday.

Four astronauts are set to launch to the space station Friday. When they arrive, the new crew of 11 will be the largest since the shuttle program, and there aren't enough sleeping pods for them all.

When Crew-2 arrives, it will be the first time two Crew Dragons will be docked at the station.

It was scheduled to splash down at 9 p.m. A new date has not been set.
