NASA will provide live coverage of the agency’s SpaceX Crew-8 return to Earth from the International Space Station, beginning at 5 a.m. EDT on Sunday, Oct. 13.

NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin lifted off from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on March 3, 2024. During their time at the station, the crew conducted new scientific research to prepare for human exploration beyond low Earth orbit and benefit humanity.


Experiments included using stem cells to create organoid models to study degenerative diseases, studying the effects of microgravity and UV radiation on plants at a cellular level, and testing whether wearing pressure cuffs on the legs could prevent fluid shifts and reduce health problems in astronauts.
