NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Michael Fincke, JAXA astronaut Kimiya Yui, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platonov return to Earth from the International Space Station on Wednesday, January 14.

NASA said it was bringing its SpaceX Crew-11 mission home earlier than planned due to a medical issue involving one crew member aboard the station. They are reportedly in a stable condition.

Crew-11 launched on August 1, 2025, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre for a planned six-month mission, with a return originally scheduled for February 2026.
