SpaceX Crew Dragon splashdown live: Watch NASA astronauts return

After a roughly two-month stay on the International Space Station, NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley are on their way home in a history-making SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule.

Sunday afternoon, the spacecraft will conduct several maneuvers and burns to position them for a fiery Earth re-entry and eventual 2:48 p.m. EDT splashdown off the coast of Pensacola, Florida.

From there, SpaceX and Air Force teams will rush to secure Behnken and Hurley, then transport them to an airport for a flight to Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

The mission, officially designated SpaceX Demo-2, was a demonstration flight of SpaceX’s crewed Dragon spacecraft, and the return leg of the trip will mark the final stage in the more than 60-day flight to the International Space Station. The mission marked the first time in nearly a decade that NASA astronauts launched from U.S. soil to the ISS.
