Overview
- NASA and SpaceX target undocking at 5:00 p.m. ET on Jan. 14 and a splashdown off California early Jan. 15, pending weather and recovery conditions.
- The affected astronaut has not been identified and is reported stable, and NASA stresses the return is controlled rather than an immediate emergency.
- The four returning Crew-11 members are Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke of NASA, Kimiya Yui of JAXA, and Oleg Platonov of Roscosmos.
- A planned Jan. 8 spacewalk was postponed after the medical issue arose, and NASA says future crew launches could be moved up if needed.
- Following Crew-11’s departure, one American and two Russian crew members will remain aboard the station.
