The capsule launched just before Christmas, carrying more than 6,500 lbs of science experiments and supplies to the ISS.
SpaceX's Dragon capsules, as well as its Falcon 9 rocket boosters, are reusable. The particular Dragon capsule that will be touching down later today had already flown on a previous cargo resupply mission, SpX-22, which launched in June 2021.
The satellite is part of a group of satellites that will eventually form the second-generation COSMO-SkyMed Earth observation system., with private space firms like ULA and SpaceX offering their services to government and commercial customers.
