Crew Dragon with Roscosmos astronaut undocked from ISS

The Crew Dragon manned spacecraft carrying Roscosmos astronaut Alexander Gorbunov has left the ISS. This was announced on March 18 by the Roscosmos state Corporation.

"Today at 08:05 Moscow time, the Crew Dragon manned spacecraft with the crew of the Crew-9 mission left the International Space Station," the department's Telegram channel noted.

It is noted that the ship will land on March 19 at 00:57 Moscow time off the coast of Florida.

The Guardian newspaper drew attention to the fact that two NASA astronauts, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who have been aboard the ISS since last summer, will return to Earth on Tuesday — they will land off the coast of Florida.

Cosmonaut Alexey Leonov made his flight 60 years ago.

Williams and Wilmore arrived at the ISS on June 6 last year. It was planned that the astronauts would evaluate the capabilities of the Starline capsule and return home in no more than 10 days, however, due to a number of technical problems and concerns, they remained on board the space station instead of other astronauts.

Later, on March 17, 2025, American entrepreneur Elon Musk reacted to a video message from two astronauts. On that day, he posted on his social network page X (ex. Twitter) a video with their participation, adding emojis in the form of hearts and rockets.
