Dragon Capsule Heads Home From ISS

An Anonymous Coward sent word that the SpaceX Dragon capsule is heading home from the International Space Station. From the article: "The unmanned Dragon space capsule set off from the International Space Station Sunday for the cargo-laden return trip to Earth after successfully delivering its first commercial payload, NASA said.

Using a robotic arm, an astronaut aboard the floating laboratory detached and released the capsule at 1329 GMT after an 18-day mission to resupply the space station, the first ever by a privately-owned company, SpaceX.

The next step will be to bring the capsule out of orbit by intermittently firing its onboard engines to slow its speed.

It is then supposed to parachute into the Pacific Ocean off the California coast at 1920 GMT."
