Slowed by four main parachutes in predawn darkness, the SpaceX Dragon Endeavour spacecraft descended and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on Thursday, Jan. 15, wrapping up NASA's first-ever astronaut medical evacuation from the International Space Station.

After liftoff, the Falcon 9 will deploy 29 Starlink satellites. The booster should land on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean.

With the Artemis II SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft at the launch pad, experts will be conducting the wet dress rehearsal soon.

Depending on the timing, NASA could launch a fresh crew to the space station while four other astronauts are flying around the moon.
