The Dragon Capsule of Spacex returned to Earth on Friday, which had a four -day space flight with four astronauts – commercial clients. It was the first mission in orbit over the earthly poles.


The capsule was taken on Monday by the Falcon 9 rocket from the NASA Space Center on Cape Canaveral, Florida. It was the third fully private space flight organized by SpaceX.
Watering took place in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. After a safe landing, the crew conducted the last experiment – she left the capsule without additional medical assistance. This test is to help researchers determine the ability of astronauts to perform independent tasks after short and long stays in space.
The crew consisted of a Chinese cryptocurrency investor with a Maltese passport Chun Wang, Norwegian film director Jannicke Mikkelsen, German researcher Rabea Rogge and Australian traveler Eric Philips.
As previously announced, the astronauts were to conduct 22 scientific research aimed at “helping humanity in developing long -term cosmos research and understanding human health in space.” There were also plans to take the first X -ray photos in space, conducting exercises to maintain muscle and skeletal mass, and breed fungi in microgravity conditions.
