Overview
- NASA said the four-person Crew-11 will depart the station in the coming days after a medical problem affected one member.
- Administrator Jared Isaacman called the move the best option for crew welfare and said it is a first for the ISS, with a detailed timeline to follow.
- Officials reported the astronaut is stable, not in a medical emergency, and that identity and medical details will remain private.
- A planned spacewalk by Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke was canceled, and additional EVA work has been deferred.
- Crew-11 launched in August on a SpaceX Crew Dragon; Crew-12’s mid‑February launch may be advanced as Chris Williams and two Russian cosmonauts keep the station staffed.
