After an eventful five days in space, which included the first-ever commercial spacewalk, the private astronaut crew of Polaris Dawn is returning to Earth.
If all goes according to plan, the SpaceX Dragon capsule Resilience — orbital home to the four-person over the past five days — will splash down in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Dry Tortugas, Florida on Sunday, Sept. 15, at about 3:36 a.m. EDT (0736 GMT), SpaceX said in an update. The landing will mark the end of Polaris Dawn, a mission to demonstrate the mobility and functionality of SpaceX's new extravehicular activity (EVA) spacesuit, and the completion of history's first spacewalk by a private citizen.
