NASA's SpaceX Crew-11 Mission Ends Early Due to Astronaut's Health Issue

The NASA SpaceX Crew-11 mission concluded prematurely after a crew member aboard the ISS faced a medical issue. The Dragon capsule with four astronauts successfully landed off the California coast.

The NASA SpaceX Crew-11 mission returned to Earth early this Thursday after one of the crew members aboard the International Space Station (ISS) experienced a health issue last week. According to a Xinhua report accessed by Noticias Argentinas, the SpaceX Dragon capsule, with four astronauts on board, landed off the coast of California at approximately 03:41 local time after a journey of about ten hours. The crew consists of NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and cosmonaut Oleg Platonov of the Russian space agency Roscosmos. The astronauts arrived at the ISS on August 2 and were originally scheduled to remain on the orbital station for about six months, but NASA decided to conclude the mission ahead of schedule after one of the astronauts suffered a medical problem on January 7.
