Thomas Pesquet, a European Space Agency flight engineer on the station, radioed his congratulations to the Dragon team shortly after the craft's departure.
"Houston, it looks like it's time to say goodbye to Dragon," Pesquet said. "There's a part of us that will come back to down to Earth with her, and I mean that literally because it carries lots of important scientific samples, and some obtained directly fr om the crew.
"I know scientists can't wait to get their hands on their results, and thanks to return vehicles like Dragon, the ISS is able to fulfill its mission of science and discovery. From all the crew of Expedition 50, many thanks and congratulations to all the teams involved in this CRS-10 mission."
Michael Hopkins, an astronaut servicing as spacecraft communicator in mission control in Houston, replied: "Thanks for those words, Thomas, and congratulations to the crew as well. You guys did a fantastic job, as well, always staying ahead of the timeline, and it's going to be great to get Dragon back on Earth."

03/19/2017 12:33
Coming up in a few hours, the Dragon spacecraft will close the door to its guidance, navigation and control bay shortly before 9 a.m. EDT (1300 GMT).
Ignition of the capsule's thrusters is set for 9:55 a.m. EDT (1355 GMT) for an appoximately 10-minute deorbit burn. Splashdown a few hundred miles west of Baja California is scheduled for 10:54 a.m. EDT (1454 GMT).
NASA Television coverage of the Dragon resupply flight has ended. SpaceX does not plan to provide live coverage of splashdown, but you can check back here for updates on the status of the mission as we receive information

03/19/2017 12:23
Dragon's third and final departure burn is complete, moving the craft beyond the 200-meter keep-out sphere, an imaginary bubble around the space station.

03/19/2017 12:15
The Dragon spacecraft has finished its second departure burn. A yaw maneuver is coming up at about 5:21 a.m. EDT (0921 GMT), then a final departure maneuver is planned about a minute later.

03/19/2017 12:15
The robotic arm has backed away to a distance of more than 10 feet. The first of three rocket burns to guide Dragon away from the space station is complete.

Mission control in Houston just gave the station crew a "go" for release of the Dragon spacecraft by the robotic arm.

03/19/2017 11:59
NASA and SpaceX report they are in good shape for the departure of Dragon with more than 5,400 pounds of cargo for the return trip to Earth. The items include euthanized mice specimens, stem cell samples, and three disused experiment packages tagged for disposal inside the spacecraft's trunk, which will burn up on re-entry.

03/19/2017 11:56
More than 5,400 pounds of cargo, vehicle hardware and experiment samples are packed inside the Dragon capsule's pressurized cabin and the ship's disposable trunk.

03/19/2017 11:54

Grasped by the robotic arm, the Dragon spacecraft is at its planned release point below the space station.
Astronauts Thomas Pesquet and Shane Kimbrough will command the arm to release the capsule at 5:11 a.m. EDT (0911 GMT). The duo will stand by at a communications panel to issue commands to Dragon if necessary.
The crew will monitor the spacecraft until it exits the so-called keep-out sphere 200 meters (660 feet) around the space station.

After 24 days at the International Space Station, SpaceX's Dragon supply ship is set to head back to Earth on Sunday with more than 5,400 pounds of cargo, human and animal research specimens, and other gear tagged for the trip home.
The commercial cargo craft will be detached from the space station's Harmony module with the research lab's Canadian-built robot arm, then maneuvered to a location around 30 feet, or 10 meters, below the complex.
Astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Thomas Pesquet inside the station's windowed cupola, which offers panoramic views of the outpost, will command the robot arm to release the automated cargo carrier at 5:11 a.m. EDT (0911 GMT).
The Dragon spacecraft will fire its thrusters to depart the vicinity of the space station, moving out to a safe distance several miles away to close and latch the door to its navigation bay and start a 10-minute de-orbit burn with its Draco thrusters around 10 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT).
The spaceship will jettison its unpressurized trunk section and solar panels a few minutes later to burn up in the atmosphere, while the main module re-enters cocooned inside a specialized ablative heat shield developed by NASA and SpaceX to withstand temperatures reaching up to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit on its hypersonic approach to a landing zone a few hundred miles off the coast of Baja California.
Dual drogue parachutes will deploy when the capsule passes an altitude of about 45,000 feet, then three 116-foot-diameter (35-meter) main chutes will open to slow down the craft's descent to a gentle 10 mph for splashdown at 10:54 a.m. EDT (1454 GMT).
NASA TV will broadcast the departure events live, but the de-orbit burn and splashdown will not be televised.

A maritime recovery team will be on standby to recover the capsule from the Pacific Ocean and ferry it back to port in Long Beach, California, wh ere SpaceX will hand over time-sensitive samples to NASA for delivery to science teams around the world.
"This cargo will include science samples from human and animal research, external payloads, biology and biotechnology studies, physical science investigations and education activities," NASA said in a statement.
SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is the only vehicle currently capable of returning large amounts of cargo from the space station to Earth intact.
This mission is SpaceX's 10th operational resupply flight to the space station. One of those 10 missions ended in a launch failure.
The Dragon supply ship launched Feb. 19 atop a Falcon 9 rocket from launch pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It arrived at the space station Feb. 23.
Astronauts unpacked 3,373 pounds (1,530 kilograms) of cargo inside the ship's pressurized compartment over the last few weeks.
The station's robotics systems pulled two large research platforms from the Dragon's unpressurized trunk and mounted them on platforms outside the complex.
One of the external payloads will measure the condition of Earth's ozone layer, and the other is a conglomeration of more than a dozen NASA and U.S. military experiments, including a lightning camera and a navigation testbed designed to gather data for future satellite servicing missions.
Officials report both major experiments are in good health.
Cargo coming home inside Dragon's internal cabin include specimens from 40 euthanized mice launched inside the capsule last month. Scientists sent 40 mice into orbit to examine how bone fractures heal in the absence of gravity, and search for the biological reasons why most animals, including humans, cannot regrow lost limbs.
Materials from a stem cell experiment aimed at helping researchers learn how human cancers start and spread are also coming back to Earth.
Several items were loaded into the Dragon capsule's trunk for disposal during its destructure re-entry, including disused hardware from NASA's Robotic Refueling Mission, an experiment that tested technologies and techniques for future satellite servicing missions.
Other gear tagged for disposal include OPALS, an external payload developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which arrived at the station in April 2014 and tested a high-speed laser communications link between the space station and ground stations on Earth.
Another package that was fixed outside the space station to be discarded Sunday is one in a series of Materials on International Space Station Experiments, or MISSE payloads, that tested the radiation tolerance of a new computer system built for long-duration spaceflight.

SpaceX Dragon Spacecraft Departs Space Station
Posted on March 19, 2017 at 5:30 am by Hayley Fick.


The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft was released fr om space station at 5:11 a.m. ET on March 19 after delivering more than 5,500 pounds of cargo.

Expedition 50 astronauts Thomas Pesquet of ESA (European Space Agency) and Shane Kimbrough of NASA released the SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft from the International Space Station's robotic arm at 5:11 a.m. EDT.

With the spacecraft a safe distance from the station, SpaceX flight controllers in Hawthorne, California, will command its deorbit burn around 10 a.m. The capsule will splash down at about 10:54 a.m. in the Pacific Ocean, wh ere recovery forces will retrieve the capsule and its more than 5,400 pounds of cargo. The cargo includes science samples from human and animal research, external payloads, biology and biotechnology studies, physical science investigations and education activities.

The deorbit burn and splashdown will not be broadcast on NASA TV.

NASA and the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), the non-profit organization that manages research aboard the U.S. national laboratory portion of the space station, will receive time-sensitive samples and begin working with researchers to process and distribute them within 48 hours of splashdown.

Dragon, the only space station resupply spacecraft able to return to Earth intact, launched Feb. 19 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from historic Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and arrived at the station Feb. 23 for the company's 10th NASA-contracted commercial resupply mission.
