A - kind of - press conference with the #Axiom2 crew after their return: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNFBI3dJEbs

The University of South Alabama Geology Program's #seismometer managed to capture a sonic boom caused by the #Axiom2 Crew Dragon as it reentered the atmosphere: https://www.facebook.com/usaearthsciences/posts/pfbid032AYPQYFyq11x2SaHzXxdcGCyqBtxDAB3B8x8zjEcVbsPfkzDnEvkc2f1yXRx1Wscl - the event was recorded at 3:08:31 UTC, just about a minute before the capsule touched down in the Gulf of Mexico. This was the "loudest" #SonicBoom recorded by the USA seismometer network which has been in operation since 2017 and caused shaking equivalent to about a magnitude 2.5 earthquake.

#MIURA1 suziriaren jaurtiketa bertan behera geratu da, 8 eta 12 Km tarteko altuerako haizeak zeudelako, segurtasunagatik gomendatutakoak baino handiagoak.

#Axiom2 misioa arrakastaz itsasoratu da.

Seconds before the splashdown of the #Axiom2 Crew Dragon - see https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2023/05/31/die-fontane-von-enceladus-wie-sie-webb-sieht for more screencaps.

The de-orbit burn of the #Axiom2 Crew Dragon is underway: you can see the engines firing on the displays, seen in a live view from the spacecraft.

And now the conclusion - the splashdown of the #Axiom2 crew, expected one hour from now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJKH5MKKDfc

Meanwhile the #Axiom2 crew has left the ISS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ruz_yLit20 - and will splash down around 3:04 UTC Wednesday: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2023/05/30/ax-2-astronauts-undock-from-station-inside-dragon-freedom/

The welcome ceremony for the #Axiom2 crew - which is sadly less well lit than the other seven ISS residents.

The #Axiom2 crew has entered the ISS - three screencaps from the webcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6WLkE-KoRc

The docking of #Axiom2 at 14:12 UTC took place without video downlinks but now we have a view of the Dragon at the ISS from an old exterior camera - I've de-distorted a cropped screencap.
