Dragon heading home

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft was released from the International Space Station’s robotic arm by crew members of Expedition 35 at 6:56 a.m. EDT. The spacecraft now will begin a series of departure burns and maneuvers to move beyond the 656-foot (200-meter) “keep out sphere” around the station and begin its return trip to Earth.

The spacecraft is currently scheduled to splashdown in the Pacific Ocean at 12:35 p.m., hundreds of miles off the west coast of Baja California, Mexico.
