Follow the return of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 from the International Space Station, from the deorbit sequence through splashdown and recovery. The coverage explains the spacecraft’s key maneuvers, re-entry systems, parachute deployment, and the steps used to bring the crew safely aboard the recovery vessel.

■ Return and re-entry
- Around 7:46 a.m. PT: Deorbit burn, trunk separation, and preparation for atmospheric entry
- Around 8:21–8:31 a.m. PT: Communications blackout, re-entry, and deployment of drogue and main parachutes
- 8:34 a.m. PT: Splashdown off the California coast
■ Recovery and crew
- Safety checks, capsule lift, hatch opening, and crew egress; profiles of the four returning astronauts

For viewers interested in human spaceflight, this provides a guided overview of Dragon return operations and the crew’s recovery process. Watch to see how each stage fits together, and use the timeline to follow the mission milestones; the coverage focuses on the return rather than a detailed account of the crew’s full science program.
