NASA astronauts Kayla Barron, Raja Chari and Tom Marshburn, as well as ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-3 mission, answered questions about their recent mission aboard the International Space Station during a post-splashdown news conference at 11:45 a.m. EDT Wednesday, May 11. They returned to Earth in a parachute-assisted splashdown in SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft Endurance on Friday, May 6, off the coast of Florida after a 177-day space mission. During their science expedition aboard the space station, the Crew-3 astronauts conducted experiments, including a study on concrete hardening in microgravity, research on cotton varieties that could help develop drought-resistant plants, and executed a space archaeology study that could provide information that contributes to the design of future space habitats.
