[b]Endurance undocks from space station[/b] SpaceX's Crew Dragon Endurance undocked from the forward-facing port of the International Space Station's Harmony node on Thursday (May 5) at 1:20 a.m. EDT (0520 GMT). Short firings of Endurance's Draco thrusters gently pushed the spacecraft away from the orbiting complex to begin the Crew-3 astronauts' journey back to Earth. NASA astronauts Raja Chari, Tom Marshburn and Kayla Barron, together with Matthias Maurer with the European Space Agency, were aboard the space station for 175 days. A series of departure burns will increase the distance between the Dragon and station, culminating in a splashdown targeted for 12:43 a.m. EDT (0445 GMT) on Friday (May 6) off the coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico.
