Goodbye, International International Space Station! Undocking confirmed at at 12:15 BST/ 13:15 CEST. The Dragon spacecraft now begins its journey home. Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski and the #Ax4 crew are starting a 22-hour trip back to Earth. Since it was during orbital nighttime, we didn't get live footage, but we can always look back at this timelapse by Thomas Pesquet in 2021.
