The science-packed SpaceX Dragon spacecraft will wait another week before departing the International Space Station as mission managers monitor weather conditions at the splashdown sites.
Meanwhile, the Expedition 72 crew prepared for a spacewalk planned for December and performed various tasks related to science hardware and exercise equipment.
NASA astronauts completed the installation of science freezers and powered lockers inside Dragon, loaded station hardware, and secured it for return to Earth.
Other activities on the space station included space physics experiments, spacesuit maintenance, treadmill inspection, and preparations for upcoming spacewalks.
