(AP) \u2014 A private spaceflight featuring the first astronauts in more than 40 years from India, Poland and Hungary came to a close Tuesday with a Pacific splashdown.\nTheir SpaceX capsule undocked from the I nternational Space Station on Monday and parachuted into the ocean off the Southern California coast, less than 24 hours later.\nThe crew of four launched nearly three weeks ago on a flight chartered by the Houston company Axiom Space.\nAxiom\u2019s Peggy Whitson, the most experienced U.S. astronaut, served as commander. Joining her were India\u2019s Shubhanshu Shukla, Poland\u2019s Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski and Hungary\u2019s Tibor Kapu, whose countries paid more than $65 million apiece for the mission.\n\u201cThanks for the great ride and safe trip,\u201d Whitson radioed moments after splashdown. Her record now stands at 695 days in space over five missions, longer than any other American or woman.\nThe visiting astronauts conducted dozens of experiments in orbit while celebrating their heritage. The last time India, Poland and Hungary put anyone in space was during the late 1970s and 1980s, launching with the Soviets. They waved and smiled as they emerged from the capsule, one by one, into the early morning darkness.\nRelated Stories\nAstronauts from India, Poland and Hungary head back to Earth after private space station mission\nHouston\u2019s Jake Meyers exits game after pregame calf injury\nGroups for 2025 NBA Cup tournament released by league.
