WASHINGTON DC, USA SpaceX's unmanned Dragon spacecraft left the International Space Station to return to Earth on Saturday, October 25, after a month in orbit, NASA said.

Astronauts at the orbiting lab manipulated the space station's robotic arm to detach the Dragon on time, at 9:57 am (1357 GMT or 9:57 pm Philippine time), in what the US space agency called a "very clean release."

The capsule was set to splash down 5 and a half hours later in the Pacific Ocean, near the Mexican coast, slowed by 3 enormous parachutes.

The unmanned craft, which has been docked in orbit since September 23, will be carrying back some 3,800 pounds (1,700 kilograms) of materials, including results from experiments conducted on the space station.

The SpaceX vessel is the only spacecraft currently capable of returning with cargo. Its last mission to ISS was in April. (READ: SpaceX supply capsule berths at ISS)

It had delivered more than 5,000 pounds (2,200 kilograms) of cargo, including freeze-dried meals, 20 live lab mice and a 3D printer, in its fourth contracted mission to the orbiting lab.

The lab mice are the first live mammals to hitch a ride aboard a commercial cargo ship, and they are enclosed in a NASA-made research cage for studying the effects of weightlessness on their bodies.

The 3-D printer is the first of its kind to demonstrate how the technology can be used in space, even without gravity to assist the process.

Concluding a busy five week mission, the SpaceX Dragon CRS-4 commercial cargo ship departed the International Space Station (ISS) this morning, Oct. 25, after delivering a slew of some 2.5 tons of ground breaking science experiments and supplies that also inaugurated a new era in Earth science at the massive orbiting outpost following installation of the ISS-RapidScat payload.

Dragon was released from the snares of the stations robotic arm at 9: 57 a.m. EDT while soaring some 250 mi (400 km) over the northwest coast of Australia.

The Dragon is free! exclaimed NASA commentator Rob Navias during a live broadcast on NASA TV. The release was very clean.

The private resupply ship was loaded for return to Earth with more than 3,276 pounds of NASA cargo and science samples from the station crews investigations on human research, biology and biotechnology studies, physical science investigations, and education activities sponsored by NASA and the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space, the nonprofit organization responsible for managing research aboard the U.S. national laboratory portion of the space station, said NASA.

The release set up a quick series of three burns by the ships Draco thrusters designed to carry Dragon safely away from the station.

NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman and Butch Wilmore quickly retracted the arm working from their robotics workstation in the domed Cupola module.

Thanks for the help down there, the astronauts radioed. It was a great day.
