For the first time in the history of NASA and the International Space Station (ISS), an early crew evacuation occurred due to the health problems of one astronaut, ending the Crew-11 mission[1][2][3]. The crew consisted of four members: NASA astronauts Zena Cardman (commander) and Mike Fincke (pilot), Japanese astronaut Kimija Jui and Russian cosmonaut Oleg Platonov[2][3][8]. The mission launched on August 1, 2025 at 11:43 a.m. and arrived at the ISS on August 2, originally planned for six to eight months with a return in May[2][6][9]. A medical incident occurred on January 7, 2026, leading to the cancellation of the spacewalk and monitoring of the condition, which was stabilized[6][8]. NASA and SpaceX undocked the Dragon Endeavor spacecraft from the ISS on January 14 at 5:00 PM EST and landed in the Pacific Ocean off California on January 15 at 12:41 PST after 167 days in space[3][5][8][9]. It was not an emergency evacuation, but a measure for the safety of the crew, who subsequently underwent hospitalization and rehabilitation[2][6][9]. This event raised questions about the reasons for the decision and the management of health risks[1].
