Watch from the International Space Station as Nasa's SpaceX Crew-5 prepares to return to Earth

This feed shows the undocking from the ISS live from space as the crew embarks on their journey for splashdown.

Nasa astronauts Josh Cassada and Nicole Mann, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Koichi Wakata, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina are wrapping up their nearly six-month science mission

Mann’s liftoff to the ISS made her the first-ever Native American woman in space.

Crew-5 conducted over 200 science experiments and technology demonstrations during their stay on the ISS, including printing human organs in space.
