Summary
6:05 a.m. EDT marked the start of Crew-12’s return, when the hatch between the SpaceX Dragon capsule and the International Space Station was sealed.
8:05 a.m. is the scheduled autonomous undocking time, sending Dragon away from the orbital laboratory on its trip back to Earth.
7:45 a.m. NASA begins live undocking coverage, then shifts to audio-only traffic between Crew-12, the station and flight controllers during transit.
10:20 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 8, live coverage resumes and runs through splashdown, extending the mission’s final phase from station departure to Earth return.
