NASA Confirms First Medical Evacuation in ISS’s 25-Year History
NASA has announced the first medical evacuation in the International Space Station’s 25-year history. SpaceX’s Crew-11 mission will undock early on January 14, returning four astronauts to Earth after one crew member reported a medical issue. Officials stress the astronaut is stable and receiving continuous care. The precautionary return will leave a temporary three-person “skeleton crew” aboard the ISS until the arrival of Crew-12 in mid-February, ensuring uninterrupted station operations.
