What a crew aboard the ISS during Expedition 65! One of the biggest teams in a decade, 11 astronauts from four countries: the U.S., Russia, Japan, and France.

In blue (Soyuz MS-18 and SpaceX Crew-1): Mike Hopkins, Soichi Noguchi, Mark Vande Hei, Oleg Novitsky, Pyotr Dubrov, Shannon Walker, and Victor Glover.

In black (SpaceX Crew-2): Thomas Pesquet, Akihiko Hoshide, Shane Kimbrough, and Megan McArthur.

This overlap of NASA/SpaceX crews will only last a few days—Crew-1 returns to Earth next week. Ex. 65 will continue until October 2021.

A few hours ago, SpaceX's Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft ended its Crew-2, or SpaceX Crew-2, mission on behalf of NASA by splashing down without problems. Onboard were astronauts Thomas Pesquet, Megan McArthur, Shane Kimbrough, and Akihiko Hoshide, who reached the International Space Station on April 24 and were part of the Expeditions 65 and 66. They finished SpaceX's second regular crewed mission in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Pensacola, Florida. The Crew Dragon left the International Space Station about 8.5 hours earlier. Shortly after splashing down, the SpaceX ship called "Go Navigator" went to retrieve the Crew Dragon and its crew to transport them to the coast.

Poche ore fa la navicella spaziale Crew Dragon Endeavour di SpaceX ha concluso la sua missione Crew-2, o SpaceX Crew-2, per conto della NASA ammarando senza problemi. A bordo c'erano gli astronauti Thomas Pesquet, Megan McArthur, Shane Kimbrough e Akihiko Hoshide, che avevano raggiunto la Stazione Spaziale Internazionale il 24 aprile e hanno fatto parte della Expedition 65 e 66. I quattro hanno terminato la seconda missione regolare con equipaggio di SpaceX nell'Oceano Atlantico al largo della costa di Pensacola, in Florida. La Crew Dragon aveva lasciato la Stazione circa otto ore e mezzo prima. Poco dopo l'ammaraggio, la nave di SpaceX chiamata "Go Navigator" è andata a recuperare la Crew Dragon e il suo equipaggio per trasportarli fino alla costa.
