Ax-4 Astronauts to Return from ISS with 580 Pounds of Science Cargo
NASA’s Ax-4 mission is set to return to Earth on July 14 after two and a half weeks aboard the International Space Station. The four-member crew, led by Peggy Whitson, includes the first astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary. They completed over 60 science experiments ranging from algae-based life support to wearable nanomaterials. Expedition 73 astronauts helped prep Dragon for departure, including securing blood and saliva samples. Dragon will carry 580 pounds of science cargo and splash down off the California coast, concluding this groundbreaking international research mission.
