Two american astronauts from the international space Station have amerri Sunday in the gulf of Mexico aboard a capsule SpaceX, crowning success of this first demonstration mission to the space company for Nasa.
“Welcome to Earth, and thank you for having flown on SpaceX” announced the flight director to the astronauts, who responded immediately. The capsule Dragon has amerri off the coast of Pensacola in Florida as scheduled at 14: 48 (18H48 GMT), according to images broadcast live, after having gone through apparently without damage to the atmopshere of the earth. Four main parachutes slowed the descent of the capsule, which must be recovered quickly by a ship of SpaceX.
