BREAKING – Hungarian astronaut Tibor Kapu landed after long mission is space

The SpaceX Dragon space capsule carrying members of the Axiom-4 mission, including Hungarian research astronaut Tibor Kapu, landed off the coast of California at 11.31am Hungarian time on Tuesday.

The space capsule entered the atmosphere at a speed of more than 27,000kmh, when communication with the astronauts was interrupted for around 7 minutes. About 4 minutes before splashdown, two smaller stabilising parachutes opened, followed by the four large main parachutes. The SpaceX Shannon recovery vessel and speedboats set off for the landing site, and after safety checks, the space capsule will be lifted onto the rescue ship.
