The Crew-6 consists of NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg, United Arab Emirates astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev. They spent months on the orbiting lab conducting scientific investigations and technology demonstrations that help prepare humans for future space missions and benefit people back on Earth.
Crew-6 is the sixth crew rotation flight of a Dragon spacecraft as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.
The mission launched on March 2 from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and successfully docked to the ISS on March 3.
The Crew-6 carried out experiments including studies of how particular materials burn in microgravity, tissue chip research on heart, brain, and cartilage functions, and an investigation that would collect microbial samples from the outside of the space station, according to NASA.
