Hines, Watkins, Kjell Lindgren, and European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti will begin the return journey to Earth on Oct. 12, 2022, with splashdown targeted for 5:41 p.m. EDT Thursday, Oct. 13. This will mark the end of a nearly six-month science mission in which members of Crew-4 conducted new and exciting scientific research in areas such as materials science, health technologies, and plant science to prepare for human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit and benefit life on Earth.
