NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg and UAE (United Arab Emirates) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi discussed their six-month science mission aboard the International Space Station during a news conference on Tuesday, Sept.
12, at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Fellow crew member Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev was unable to participate in the news conference due to travel.
NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 returned to Earth aboard SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft splashing down at 12:17 a.m., Sept.
4, off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida, and flew back to Houston shortly afterward.
The four crewmates traveled 78,875,292 statute miles during 2,976 orbits around the Earth and spent approximately 186 days in orbit.
It was the first spaceflight for Hoburg, Alneyadi, and Fedyaev, and the fourth for Bowen.
