Crew-5 Team Completes Historic Five-Month Mission Aboard International Space Station

The Crew-5 mission, consisting of four astronauts from NASA, Japan, and Russia, has completed their five-month mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The Crew Dragon capsule, operated by SpaceX, departed from the ISS early Saturday morning and is expected to splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico later Saturday night. During their 157-day mission, the Crew-5 team conducted hundreds of experiments, completed six spacewalks, and installed two solar arrays. This marks the first full-duration mission to the ISS for all four astronauts and the first time a Japanese astronaut has been part of a long-duration mission aboard the ISS.
