[b]NASA and SpaceX remain 'go' for splashdown[/b] Following a comprehensive review of the latest weather forecast in the areas surrounding each of seven potential splashdown locations, NASA and SpaceX have decided to move forward with plans to bring NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley home to Earth with a splashdown off the Florida coast on Sunday, Aug. 2, aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon "Endeavour" spacecraft. Teams will continue to closely monitor Tropical Storm Isaias and evaluate impacts to weather around the Florida peninsula, including the potential splashdown sites in the Gulf of Mexico and along the state's Atlantic coast. NASA and SpaceX will make a decision on a primary splashdown target approximately 6 hours before undocking Saturday. Undocking remains scheduled for approximately 7:34 p.m. EDT (2334 GMT) Saturday, Aug. 1, and splashdown at 2:42 p.m. EDT (1842 GMT) on Sunday.
