The ISS is orbiting the Earth at a speed of 28 thousand km per hour in an orbit about 400 km above the Earth. The Dragon spacecraft will automatically begin the process of separating from the ISS to gradually slow down and re-enter the Earth's atmosphere for a water landing (splashdown) in California.
