The Dragon cargo capsule was detached from the space station's Harmony module earlier today with the lab's Canadian-built robotic arm. The robot arm is scheduled to release the Dragon spacecraft at 9:06 a.m. EDT (1306 GMT), beginning a series of maneuvers by the SpaceX cargo craft to depart the vicinity of the space station and prepare for re-entry.

Ground controllers will send the command for the robotic arm to release the Dragon spacecraft, while crew members on-board the station monitor the event.

Grasped by the robotic arm, the Dragon spacecraft is at its planned release point below the space station.

Ground controllers in Houston will command the arm to release the capsule at 9:06 a.m. EDT (1306 GMT).

Astronaut Drew Morgan aboard the station will stand by at a communications panel and a robotic arm control console inside the lab's cupola module to issue commands to Dragon, or take charge of the arm 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.

Dragon is now flying on its own, having been released from the grasp of the space station robotic arm at 9:06 a.m. EDT (1306 GMT) as the craft flew at an altitude of around 260 miles east of Vietnam.

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.

"That was the last time the arm and Dragon will meet that way so it was fun to watch," said Drew Morgan, a flight engineer on the International Space Station.

Future Dragon cargo missions will not be grappled or released by the Canadian-built robotic arm, but will instead directly dock with the space station.

"Congratulations to the SpaceX team and the teams all around the world for the successful Dragon mission over the last month and wrapping up Expedition 62."

Morgan and crewmates Jessica Meir and Oleg Skripochka will be joined by three fresh crew members Thursday, then they will head for landing in Kazakhstan on April 17 on a Russian Soyuz capsule.
