Watch: SpaceX cargo craft undocks from International Space Station

Watch again as a SpaceX cargo craft undocks from the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday, 15 April.

The Dragon cargo resupply spacecraft returned scientific research samples and hardware to Earth for Nasa.

Once it undocked safely from the ISS, the cargo craft made a parachute-assisted splashdown off the coast of Florida, before its experiments are quickly taken to Nasa's Space Station Processing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center with minimal exposure to Earth's gravity.

The spacecraft is returning with around 4,300lb (1950kg) of supplies and scientific experiments designed to take advantage of the space station’s microgravity environment.

Experiments conducted include a space tomato harvest, growing higher-quality crystals, analysing ageing arteries, and how fuel temperature affects material flammability.

The CRS-27 craft was launched on 14 March 2023 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center.
