NASA is carrying out the first emergency return in International Space Station history after an astronaut aboard Crew-11 suffered a serious medical condition.
The Crew-11 mission, which launched in August, will return to Earth ahead of schedule, marking the first time in the ISS’s 25-year history that a mission has been cut short due to a medical incident.
A NASA spokesperson confirmed all four astronauts are “feeling great” and “ready to come home” despite the sudden end to their six-month mission.
The details of the medical condition affecting one crew member have not been disclosed. NASA said the safety of all crew members is the priority.
Dr. Farhan Asrar of Toronto Metropolitan University described the event as “unprecedented,” noting that while medical issues have occurred on the ISS before, none had required a full emergency evacuation until now.
The astronauts are expected to land safely on Earth later today, bringing an end to the Crew-11 mission and highlighting the challenges of human spaceflight in real-time emergencies.
