NASA will provide live coverage of events concerning the return of astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley from the International Space Station (ISS). Here’s what and when to watch.

Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley arrived at the ISS on May 31, following a succesful first manned launch of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule. NASA and SpaceX are targeting 1 August, 7:34 p.m. EDT (16:34 PDT / 23:34 UTC / 01:34 CET) for undocking of the Dragon “Endeavour” spacecraft from the space station. Next, they are planning for splashdown at 2:42 p.m. EDT (11:42 PDT / 18:42 UTC / 20:42 CET) on the 2nd of August.
