The return was ordered to enable Earth-based care for a stable crewmate whose identity remains private.

Overview

  • SpaceX Crew-11—Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke (NASA), Kimiya Yui (JAXA), and Oleg Platonov (Roscosmos)—is scheduled to undock around 5:05 p.m. EST Jan. 14 and splash down off California about 3:41 a.m. EST Jan. 15.
  • NASA and SpaceX will carry live coverage on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and YouTube, with a post-landing briefing planned for 5:45 a.m. EST Thursday, subject to real-time operations and weather.
  • NASA says the affected astronaut is stable and medical details will not be disclosed for privacy; officials characterize the decision as deliberate to allow full diagnostics on Earth.
  • ISS command has transferred to Russian cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov after Mike Fincke relinquished command, and a Jan. 8 spacewalk was canceled following the medical issue.
  • Station operations continue with a reduced crew until the next rotation, with Crew-12 expected around mid-February to restore full staffing and address deferred tasks.
