Overview
- Administrator Jared Isaacman said the Dragon spacecraft will depart the station in days, with the exact date still to be set.
- NASA has not identified the astronaut or the condition, citing privacy, and Dr. James Polk said no special in‑flight treatment is expected.
- A planned spacewalk was postponed because of the medical concern, which officials said was not related to the EVA tasks.
- The returning crew includes Mike Fincke, Zena Cardman, Kimiya Yui and Oleg Platonov, who arrived in August for a roughly six‑month rotation.
- Following the departure, only NASA astronaut Chris Williams will remain alongside two Roscosmos crewmates as NASA considers accelerating the Crew‑12 launch to restore normal staffing.
