On July 14, 2025 (16:45 hrs IST), Crew Dragon spacecraft carrying four crew members including Gaganyatri Shubhanshu Shukla successfully undocked from International Space Station (ISS) for its return journey back to Earth. Initial separation of Dragon from ISS was achieved through first departure burn and distance between Crew Dragon Spacecraft & ISS was gradually increased through additional departure burn.

Post undocking from ISS during the free flight regime of the Crew Dragon Spacecraft, the Gaganyatri will take scheduled rest breaks, monitor various onboard systems especially during further planned departure and deorbit burns. Following deorbit burn which will initiate reentry, the Crew Dragon spacecraft is expected to splashdown near the coast of California, USA on July 15, 2025 at 15:00hrs (IST).
