Mission
The seventh SpaceX operational mission in the Commercial Crew Program launched on August 26, 2023.[1][2] The European segment of the mission is called Huginn, named after the raven from Norse mythology of the same name.[13]
One week after the arrival of Crew-8, Crew-7 undocked from the ISS, returning to Earth by splashing down in the Gulf of Mexico near Florida on March 12, 2024.[14]
