NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt and Jeanette Epps, as well as Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin - members of SpaceX Crew-8 mission - are set to leave the International Space Station after more than 200 days, heading back to Earth on Wednesday, October 23.
Their mission launched on March 4, 2024 and they are expected to splash down off the coast of Florida later this week. Crew-8's capsule 'Endeavor' was originally scheduled to depart on October 13, but it was postponed due to poor weather conditions.
