[b]Axiom-3 splashes down[/b] Axiom Mission 3 (Ax-3) commander Michael López-Alegría, pilot Walter Villadei, mission specialist Alper Gezeravcı and mission specialist Marcus Wandt are home! After a 47-hour journey back to Earth, the astronauts aboard the SpaceX Dragon Freedom capsule splashed down off the coast of Daytona Beach, Florida on Friday (Feb. 9) at around 8:30 a.m. EST (1330 GMT). Ax-3 celebrates many firsts: it was the first commercial spaceflight mission comprised of government and ESA-sponsored national astronauts; Gezeravcı became the first-ever Turkish astronaut; and Wandt was the first ESA project astronaut to fly on a commercial space mission.
