NOW! ISS Change of Command + Crew 3 Farewell

LIVE! ISS Change of Command + Crew 3 Farewell
#NASA #ISS #Crew3

As they prepare to return to Earth, NASA’s SpaceX Crew-3 astronauts will give farewell remarks and take part in the ISS Change of Command Ceremony onboard the International Space Station.

The Crew-3 astronauts have been living and working on the station since their launch Nov. 10, 2021. During their mission, the crew members contributed to hundreds of experiments and technology demonstrations. They worked on a variety of plant growth experiments, testing new systems for growing crops and studying potentially drought-resistant cotton plants. In addition, they tested a handheld bioprinter designed to print bandages made from skin cells directly onto a wound, and a miniature scanning electron microscope. Crew members also installed a new device to support studies on fire safety in microgravity, and conducted one of the first archaeological experiments in space. Working in pairs, the astronauts also completed four spacewalks to prepare the station for upcoming solar array upgrades by assembling and installing modification kits and successfully replacing a faulty antenna on the Port-1 truss structure.

The Crew-3’s SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, which they named Endurance, will undock from the space station early tomorrow morning, splashing down off the coast of Florida to conclude the mission 23.5 hours later..
