The private Dragon spacecraft is set to return to Earth Sunday (Oct. 28), wrapping up the first-ever commercial cargo mission to the International Space Station.

The unmanned Dragon capsule, built by the California-based firm SpaceX, is scheduled to undock from the orbiting lab at 7:55 a.m. EDT (11:55 GMT) Sunday, then be released by the station’s huge robotic arm about 90 minutes later.
If all goes according to plan, Dragon will splash down in the Pacific Ocean off the California coast at 3:20 p.m. EDT (19:20 GMT) Sunday, where SpaceX personnel will retrieve it with a crane-equipped boat.
You can watch the Dragon’s undocking live on NASA TV here beginning at 7:00 a.m. EDT (11:00 GMT).
