Ax-1 to depart from the International Space Station

SpaceX, Axiom Space, and NASA are targeting no earlier than Saturday, April 23 at 8:30 p.m. ET (00:30 UTC on Sunday, April 24) for Dragon and the Ax-1 astronauts to depart from the International Space Station.

After performing a series of burns to move away from the space station, Dragon will conduct multiple orbit-lowering maneuvers, jettison its trunk, and re-enter Earth’s atmosphere before landing off the coast of Florida approximately 17 hours later at 1:46 p.m. ET on Sunday, April 24.
