The ISS Crew Is Returning to Earth: Here’s How to Watch Online

You can watch the ISS astronauts return home on Friday.

It’s time to change crews on the International Space Station. On Friday, you can tune in to NASA’s live coverage of the return of Crew-10 on NASA Plus, Amazon Prime and more streaming services. Events begin with the hatch closure and undocking on Friday, and the crew returns on the following day.

The return was delayed a day due to high winds at the splashdown sites off the California coast. Weather conditions will be continually monitored, and the specific splashdown location will be determined closer to the time of the Crew-10 spacecraft undocking.

Crew-10 has been at the International Space Station for five months, and is set to return a week after Saturday’s arrival of the Crew-11 team. The returning crew consists of NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichile Ayers, along with JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut, Kirill Peskov.
