Astronauts part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Space Exploration Technologies Corporation's (SpaceX) Crew-2 mission that safely returned from the International Space Station (ISS) this month described their experiences on the latter's Crew Dragon vehicle during atmospheric reentry and landing. The Crew-2, an international team of astronauts from North America, Europe and Asia, took to the skies more than six months back. Their return tested the limits of SpaceX's Dragon 2 spacecraft, which is the only American spacecraft capable of sending astronauts into low Earth orbit (LEO).
