NASA’s live coverage of undocking and departure is underway on NASA+. Learn how to watch NASA content through a variety of platforms, including social media.

The unpiloted SpaceX Dragon spacecraft will undock at 11:05 a.m. EST from the forward port of the space station’s Harmony module and fire its thrusters to move a safe distance away from the station.

After re-entering Earth’s atmosphere, the spacecraft will make a parachute-assisted splashdown off the coast of Florida. NASA will not stream the splashdown but will post updates on the agency’s space station blog.

Filled with nearly 6,000 pounds of crew supplies, science investigations, and equipment, the spacecraft arrived to the orbiting laboratory Nov. 5 after it launched Nov. 4 on a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the agency’s SpaceX 31st commercial resupply services mission.
