SpaceX Crew-1 astronauts have begun undocking from the International Space Station (ISS).

Four crew members – three NASA astronauts and one from Japan's space agency – are on their way home from the ISS, ending their five-month mission to the orbiting laboratory.

The astronauts will return on Sunday with a splashdown at 2:57 a.m. EDT (0657 GMT), the first time for NASA to conduct a nighttime splashdown since the Apollo 8 mission in 1968.
