After spending about six months in space, the four-person Crew-2 mission is expect to undock and return to Earth in a parachute-assisted splashdown off the coast of Florida.

Crew-2 Dragon, named Endeavour, includes NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur as well as European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Akihiko Hoshide.

Undocking from the space-facing port of the Harmony module is slated for 7:05 p.m. UTC Nov. 8. Splashdown off the coast of Florida is anticipated for about 3:33 a.m. UTC Nov. 9.

They are to be replaced by the four-person Crew-3 mission when they launch in early November.
