SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft will delay its departure from the International Space Station by 24 hours due to weather conditions at its splashdown site off the coast of California.
Dragon's undocking time has been rescheduled to 12:05 p.m. EDT on Friday, with support personnel waiting for improved visibility at the splashdown site for a safe retrieval.
Expedition 73 crew focused on loading Dragon with science experiments, research samples, and hardware, while also conducting microgravity research to enhance health outcomes both in space and on Earth.
Crew members engaged in experiments studying the effects of microgravity on the retina, tested a 3D imaging microscope for monitoring water quality, monitored cardiovascular system, and conducted physical fitness exams and maintenance tasks on the ISS.
