NASA Brings Crew-11 Home Early After ISS Medical Issue

#CapeCanaveral, #USA
NASA said SpaceX Crew-11 will return to Earth in the coming days after an undisclosed but “serious” medical condition affected one astronaut aboard the ISS, with timeline updates expected within 48 hours.Jared Isaacman said the crew member is stable and NASA is “not electing an emergency deorbit,” while James Polk said the station lacks full diagnostic and treatment capability and called the move the first ISS medical evacuation.The decision followed the cancellation of a 6.5-hour spacewalk by Mike Fincke and Zena Cardman, and NASA is weighing an earlier Crew-12 launch as the remaining trio on board will be Chris Williams, Sergey Mikaev and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov.
