Crew-11 wraps up historic ISS medical evacuation with splashdown
TL;DR Summary
SpaceX’s Crew-11 mission ended with the ISS’s first medical evacuation, as a four-person Crew Dragon capsule splashed down in the Pacific after undocking early due to a medical issue on the station. The 167-day expedition (165 aboard the ISS) included NASA’s Mike Fincke and Zena Cardman, JAXA’s Kimiya Yui, and Roscosmos’ Oleg Platonov. With the health concern prompting an earlier return, three crew members remain on the ISS ahead of SpaceX Crew-12’s expected February liftoff.
