On October 28, 2012 the "Dragon” unmanned supply spacecraft was undocked from the International Space Station. American astronaut Sunita Williams and Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide undocked the spacecraft from the station by using the "Canadarm-2” robotic system at 13:27 UTC. The "Dragon” will deliver scientific samples and a variety of equipment to Earth. The California-based SpaceX company will steer its unmanned capsule to a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, a couple hundred miles off the Baja California coast.
