Sharjah 24 – Reuters: UAE astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev splashed down safely in the SpaceX Dragon Endeavour in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida, on Monday.
Teams on the SpaceX recovery ship, including two fast boats, secured Dragon and ensured the spacecraft is safe for the recovery effort.
As the fast boat teams completed their work, the recovery ship moved into position to hoist Dragon onto the main deck with the astronauts inside. Once on the main deck, the crew was taken out of the spacecraft and received medical checks before a helicopter ride to board a plane for Houston.
