    Axiom 3 departing the International Space Station 👋 #shorts

    European Space Agency astronaut Andreas Mogensen shared this video on social media with the caption:

    “After almost six months on the International Space Station, it is time to go home. We have gotten the date for our return: No earlier than 8 March 2024 will Jasmin, Satoshi, Konstantin, and I enter our Crew Dragon “Endurance” and undock from the Space Station and splash down near the coast of Florida. The return is dependent on Crew 8’s launch on the 1 March and weather at the landing site off the coast of Florida.

    It has been a fantastic mission, where I became the commander of the crew on Expedition 70, a fantastic international crew where we have explored new science and worked together to make it a great expedition. Unfortunately, the spacewalk I was planned to go out on will not be performed this time, but maybe in the future by another crew.

    My Huginn mission has been a dream come true, where I got to live and work on International Space Station once more, this time for a little bit longer than in 2015 😉 I will do my best to make the most of these last few weeks, and at the same time, I look forward to coming home to my family.”

    Departing Space Station Commander Provides Tour of Orbital Laboratory

    In her final days as Commander of the International Space Station, Sunita Williams of NASA recorded an extensive tour of the orbital laboratory and downlinked the video on Nov. 18, just hours before she, cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and Flight Engineer Aki Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency departed in their Soyuz TMA-05M spacecraft for a landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan. The tour includes scenes of each of the station’s modules and research facilities with a running narrative by Williams of the work that has taken place and which is ongoing aboard the orbital outpost.
