NASA and SpaceX are targeting 5:50 a.m. EDT Tuesday for a splashdown that will wrap up a six-month science mission living and working aboard the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies for future human and robotic exploration flights as part of NASA’s Moon and Mars exploration approach, including lunar missions through NASA’s Artemis program.
