WASHINGTON, Sep 19. Crew Dragon, the first fully non-professional crew of four, splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean, completing a three-day mission in orbit, streamed on SpaceX's Inspiration4 mission, with a crew of non-professional astronauts, launched from Canaveral Cosmodrome on Wednesday night. The return took place in accordance with the schedule — the capsule of the ship on parachutes landed on the ocean on Saturday at 19.06 US East Coast time (02.06 Sunday Moscow time). An unprofessional crew of two women and two men conducted scientific work in orbit for three days, took participation in sessions of direct communication with the Earth and admired the views of the planet from an orbit at an altitude of 575 kilometers. The Crew Dragon ship has been upgraded and equipped with a transparent dome, opening a panoramic view, especially for the tourist flight. As SpaceX said on the eve of the mission, its first ship with a crew is returning to the Atlantic Ocean, before that all crewed Crew Dragon splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. Inspiration4 is charitable in nature and aims to raise funds for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, specializing in childhood cancers.
