"The Axiom-4 crew has entered its final leg with the return to Earth anticipated any day after July 10, unless extended.


NASA is yet to announce a return date. The return would depend on factors such as weather conditions off the coast of Florida, where the capsule is expected to splash down, spacecraft readiness, orbital schedules among others. "
