Al Neyadi and the Space X Crew were originally scheduled to undock from the ISS on September 2 but were delayed due to unfavourable weather conditions in the Gulf of Mexico.

It was confirmed on Sunday that the SpaceX Dragon craft Endeavour had successfully undocked at 3:05 pm GST and the journey would take approximately 17 hours. Al Neyadi is expected to splash down at 8:17 AM (GST).
