Connor, López-Alegría, Pathy and Stibbe comprised the first all-private crew to visit the ISS, making the trip in a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule April 8.
The mission was originally expected to last eight days as the private astronauts were kept busy with science experiments, but undocking was postponed for almost a week due to unfavorable weather at the splashdown site, with the capsule returning to Earth on April 25.
