The Ax-1 crew is currently on their journey back to Earth’s surface after almost 15 days on the orbiting laboratory conducting scientific experiments and outreach activities.

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying the Ax-1 crew undocked from the International Space Station at 9:10 p.m. ET Sunday, April 24, and is heading home to Earth.

The vehicle is anticipated to splash down off the coast of Florida on Monday, April 25. Live coverage of the Ax-1 return to Earth will resume on Monday, April 25, when ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù and SpaceX will offer joint webcast coverage of splashdown, beginning at approximately 12:00 p.m. ET on AxiomSpace.com and SpaceX’s YouTube channel. See additional coverage details here.

Ax-1’s crew includes Commander Michael López-Alegría, Pilot Larry Connor, and Mission Specialists Eytan Stibbe and Mark Pathy. While onboard the space station, the four-person, multinational Ax-1 crew conducted work for more than 25 research projects with partners across the globe, including the Mayo Clinic, Montreal Children’s Hospital, Cleveland Clinic, and the Ramon Foundation. The astronauts are also set to deliver research investigations for Axiom-managed organizations such as self-assembling technology for future space habitats, cell samples, and more.

The Ax-1 crew is history’s first all-private crew to travel to the ISS. Ax-1 is the first of several proposed Axiom missions to the ISS and an important step toward Axiom Station, the world’s first private space station in low-Earth orbit, which can serve as a global academic and commercial hub.
