The successful 3-day SpaceX first civil, purely commercial space flight Return to earth. At 19:06 on September 18th, US Eastern Time, the Crew Dragon spacecraft carrying four passengers splashed and landed on the coast of Florida.

“Inspiration 4, on behalf of SpaceX, welcome back to Earth.” Then, SpaceX Operations Director Kris Young said in the Mission Control Center, “Your mission shows that space belongs to For all of us, ordinary people can also have an extraordinary impact on the world around us.”

Musk also said on Twitter, “Congratulations on’Inspiration 4′! !!!”

Splashing refers to objects falling from a high altitude into rivers, lakes, and seas. It often refers to artificial satellites, rockets, space shuttles, etc., when they return to the earth, and fall according to a predetermined location. In the ocean. This task is called “Inspiration 4”. It was launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 20:02 on September 15th, US Eastern Time. This isSpaceX’s fourth manned flight is also its first full-civilian, purely commercial space flight. There are no professional astronauts on the Dragon spacecraft.

The 37-year-old billionaire who bought the 4 “ship tickets” was Jared Isaacman, CEO of Shift4 Payments, a US online payment processing company ( Jared Isaacman), and the remaining 3 tickets were donated to the American public, including 29-year-old anti-cancer fighter, Hayley Arceneaux, a physician assistant at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, and geologist Sian Proctor ), and engineer Chris Sembroski.

According to space.com reports, the crew flew to an altitude of 590 kilometers from the earth. In addition to viewing the scenery in space, in orbit, they also conducted a series of medical experiments to collect samples and data to help researchers better understand how microgravity affects the human body.

In the live broadcast of space on the 17th, Arsenal mentioned that it’s really interesting to see how fluids change in microgravity. “This is what scientists are studying , We are happy to contribute to this.”

“We also sampled different parts of our body to assess the microbiota and their How has it changed in these three days.” Arsenal added that she has also been providing some samples for the research team, including blood samples, and is also doing cognitive tests.

The spacecraft used in this mission is the space X used for the second manned mission to the International Space Station (Crew-1 mission). Since this mission does not require docking with the space station, SpaceX added a dome window at the front of the spacecraft. Arsenal said that they spent a lot of time on this dome window and saw an incredible view. After returning to Earth, 4 space tourists asked After being inspected by medical staff, he proceeded to NASA’s space shuttle landing facility. The Dragon spacecraft will return to SpaceX’s base through Port Canaveral for inspection.

This is the third splash and fall of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, Crew-2 launched by NASA in April this yearThe Dragon spacecraft of the mission is still facing the International Space Station and plans to bring the astronauts back in November. The next NASA mission, Crew-3, is scheduled to launch astronauts to the space station at the end of October. SpaceX’s next purely commercial mission, Ax-1, will be launched as early as January 2022, and passengers will stay on the International Space Station for a week.
