LIVE VIDEO: Astronauts Splash Down In Gulf Of Mexico

Space.com reports:

SpaceX is poised to land its Crew Dragon Freedom from the International Space Station with the two crewmates who launched on it and two astronauts who arrived at the space station last June on Boeing’s Starliner, which landed uncrewed without them.

SpaceX’s Crew-9 is scheduled to splash down on Tuesday (March 18) at about 5:57 p.m. EDT (2157 GMT) off the coast of Florida after a smooth undocking from the ISS in the wee hours this morning. This landing will mark the ninth operational and 10th overall crew return by the company under a contract with NASA’s commercial crew program.

NASA and SpaceX have targeted Crew-9’s splashdown aboard the Crew Dragon Freedom in the Gulf of Mexico. (President Donald Trump has signed an executive order renaming the body of water the Gulf of America, but Space.com follows AP style, which sticks with “Gulf of Mexico” as its internationally recognized name.)
