"  At 11:42 Eastern this morning, the SpaceX Dragon capsule splashed down in the Pacific Ocean about 500 miles off the coast of Baja California, at 27 degrees north latitude and 120 degrees west longitude. NASA TV captured the spacecraft descending through the atmosphere slowed by three parachutes, while CEO Elon Musk and others nervously awaited Dragon&amp;#039;s return from the company&amp;#039;s Hawthorne, Calif., headquarters. SpaceX made history last week when it launched Dragon via a Falcon 9 rocket and the spacecraft became the first one built, launched, and operated by a private firm to berth with the International Space Station. Dragon stayed at the ISS until 5:49 Eastern time this morning, when it detached and then fired a series of quick burns to put some distance between itself and the station. At 10:51, Dragon fired the de-orbit burn that eventually slowed the craft by 900 meters per second. It released its chutes at 11:36, six minutes before it splashed down in the Pacific within visual range of SpaceX&amp;#039;s intended target. SpaceX is now recovering Dragon with boats on the scene. More information about the mission&amp;#039;s conclusion will be available after press conferences later today. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
