NASA and SpaceX have decided on a time for the latter’s Dragon commercial space capsule to return to our planet. Once again you’ll be able to watch it live, but this time you may actually be able to sleep in.

From NASA:

In reverse order of how Dragon was captured and berthed Friday, the crew will use the station’s Canadarm2 robotic arm to detach the vehicle from the Earth-facing port of the station’s Harmony node at 4:05 a.m., move it away from the station and release it at 5:35 a.m. for return to Earth. The SpaceX team in Hawthorne, Calif., will run Dragon through about five hours of orbital operations before commanding it to a splashdown for recovery off the California coast.
