SpaceX Crew-10 Returns to Earth After Five Months on ISS
Astronauts are back on Earth after spending nearly five months in space.
They landed in the Pacific Ocean.
The crew was made up of astronauts from NASA, JAXA, and Roscosmos.
They did research in space, like studying how space affects astronauts and finding out more about the Moon and Mars.
Their return is a sign that commercial companies, like SpaceX, can send people safely to space.
Another crew is now at the space station, ready to do experiments.
Four astronauts returned to Earth after a 148-day mission on the International Space Station.
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft splashed down off the coast of San Diego, California.
The crew included NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov.
The mission was the 10th operational astronaut mission SpaceX has flown for NASA.
Crew-11 arrived at the ISS earlier in the month to begin their six-month mission.
