The quartet of citizen astronauts comprising the SpaceX Inspiration4 mission began their descent from space en route to a splashdown in the Atlantic on Saturday to complete a three-day flight of the first all-civilian crew ever launched into Earth orbit, AJMEDIA reports quoting Reuters.
In preparation fortheir return to Earth, the SpaceX Crew Dragon vehicle conducted two rocket thruster “burns” on Friday to lower its altitude and line up the capsule’s trajectory with the targeted landing zone.
