Fūjin mission video:

2083-02-05 - The Fūjin Saturn Piloted Vehicle performed a small burn (change of 200 m/s) to escape Iapetus's gravitational influence. A day later, the crew of the SPV would feel the rumbling of the main engines once more as the vehicle changed its velocity by over 5000 m/s to leave Saturn. The trajectory was timed to arrive at Earth in just over four years.

2087-02-17 - After spending 9 years away, the crew undocked in the Earth Arrival Vehicle, slowing down by 6500 m/s before detaching the capsule to re-enter Earth's atmosphere and splash down off the coast of Central America.
