Part 3/6:
The undocking process began with a series of steps: after retracting the umbilicals to transition the spacecraft to internal battery power, the first and second sets of hooks were released in quick succession. The first undocking burns were completed—the first burn lasted just over a second, while the second burn extended to around five seconds, both executing nominally. This sequence confirmed that Dragon was well on its way home, carrying valuable cargo, including scientific samples and data collected during its mission.
