Coming home: Astronauts face final leg of SpaceX test flight

India Today

A pair of Nasa astronauts face the final and most important part of their SpaceX test flight: returning to Earth with a rare splashdown. Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken took part in a farewell ceremony Saturday at the International Space Station, several hours ahead of their planned departure on a SpaceX Dragon capsule. In launching Hurley and Behnken from Nasa's Kennedy Space Center on May 30, SpaceX became the first private company to send people into orbit. Space station commander Chris Cassidy, who will remain on board with two Russians until October, presented Hurley with the small US flag left behind by the previous astronauts to launch to the space station from US soil, in July 2011.
