Two months ago, astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley became the first humans to launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center to the International Space Station (ISS). On August 1st, Bob and Doug plan to undock from the ISS to begin their return home. Their safe splashdown, targeted for August 2nd, will mark the success of the mission and the beginning of regular crew flights to the space station.

If the splashdown date and time are within visitor complex’s operating hours, guests may be able to watch the splashdown live feed from the main visitor complex with an Explore More admission ticket. Check back here or follow us on social media for the announcement of a time for the homecoming of these two astronauts.

Please note that similar to rocket launches, the scheduled splashdown date, time and viewing opportunities are subject to change. The splashdown time can be affected by technical and mechanical issues as well weather, either in advance or at the last minute.
