A team of four astronauts transported to the International Space Station (ISS) by the US-launched SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule was heading back to Earth on Saturday, May 1, 2021, Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa) reported.

The hatch of the Crew Dragon Resilience spacecraft transporting the four astronauts closed at 2226 GMT. They are scheduled to splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico at 0657 GMT on Sunday. The return flight to Earth had been postponed by a day due to bad weather.

The team of US astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker, and Japanese astronaut Soichi Noguchi served a six-month mission aboard to orbiting laboratory. The four astronauts' launch from US soil in November ended nine years of reliance on Russia to ferry astronauts into space.

The US space agency hopes the launch will mark the beginning of many regular crew flights to the space station from the United States.
