SpaceX's 32nd robotic Dragon cargo mission undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) today (May 23), after a one-day delay due to bad weather at the splashdown site.
NASA and SpaceX integrated operation teams polled "go" for undocking at 11:50 a.m. EDT (1550 GMT). Dragon's departure was overseen aboard the ISS by NASA astronaut Jimmy Kim, who coordinated with mission controllers on the ground. A command for the automated Dragon spacecraft to begin the undocking process was sent at 12:00 p.m. EDT (1600 GMT), with the capsule departing the ISS five minutes later. At the time, Dragon and the space station were flying 260 miles (420 kilometers) over northeast Australia.
