美载人"龙"飞船返回地球
Crew Dragon's splashdown The SpaceX Crew Dragon "Endeavour" spacecraft carrying two NASA astronauts parachuted to a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida on Sunday, completing a two-month mission to the International Space Station (ISS). When the spacecraft splashed down off the coast of Pensacola, Florida at 2:48 pm EDT Sunday, the SpaceX recovery vessel GO Navigator was waiting at the landing zone. The recovery teams then opened the hatch and retrieved NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley, according to NASA live broadcast. The return of the test flight with the two astronauts from the ISS marks the first splashdown of an American crew spacecraft in 45 years, said NASA. It also wrapped up the test flight for the first commercially owned and operated crewed spacecraft under NASA's Commercial Crew Program. |
