LOS ANGELES — A sonic boom shook part of Southern California Saturday night as SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft reentered Earth’s atmosphere.
According to the Hawthorne-based company, the unpiloted spacecraft was expected to “announce its arrival” with a brief sonic boom before landing in the Pacific Ocean.
“Dragon is on track to reenter Earth’s atmosphere and splash down off the southern coast of California near Oceanside at 10:44 p.m. PT,” SpaceX posted on X.
Dragon officially landed in the water at approximately 10:45 p.m, aided by “drogue parachutes,” according to X posts.
