NASA is set to provide a live stream of the undocking of the Dragon spacecraft from the International Space Station (ISS). After receiving commands from SpaceX ground controllers in Hawthorne, California, the Dragon spacecraft will detach from the forward port of the Harmony module on the station and then move away to a safe distance using its engines. Once the mission is complete, the spacecraft will return to Earth’s atmosphere and land off the coast of Florida with the help of parachutes. While the landing itself will not be broadcasted, updates related to this event will be posted on NASA’s blog.
