Return journey of Indian Astronaut Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla and three other crew members of Axiom-4 mission to begin today.

On Monday, July 14 at 7:05 a.m. ET, Dragon is targeted to autonomously undock from the International Space Station. After performing a series of departure burns to move away from the space station, Dragon will conduct multiple orbit-lowering maneuvers, jettison the trunk, and re-enter Earth’s atmosphere for splashdown off the coast of California 22.5 hours later at approximately 2:30 a.m. PT on Tuesday, July 15.

A live webcast of Ax-4’s return to Earth will begin about 20 minutes prior to undocking, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.

Aboard the spacecraft will be Ax-4 astronauts Peggy Whitson, Shubhandshu Shukla, Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski, and Tibor Kapu, who flew to the space station on Dragon when Falcon 9 launched the spacecraft from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday, June 25 at 2:31 a.m. ET.
