Part 5/6:
The recovery operation was conducted with precision, with the Megan vessel stationed a few miles away, ready to assist in retrieving the capsule and crew. Crew members appeared secure and comfortable after their re-entry ordeal, utilizing restraints as resting places, a testament to the capsule’s design allowing for safe crew accommodations during splashdown.
As the capsule settled into the ocean, the recovery team confirmed the successful deployment of parachutes and readiness to recover the crew. With cheers and applause from both the team on the vessel and viewers around the world, the crew was welcomed back to Earth.
