SpaceX’s robotic Dragon cargo ship has departed International Space Station and returned to earth after an almost 6-week study.

The unmanned capsule was released by a robotic arm on Friday and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean where it was retrieved by NASA and sent to LA for analysis.

Dragon brought home more than 1300 kilograms of experiments and cargo including 12 mice.
