NASA has carried out its first-ever medical evacuation from the International Space Station (ISS), sending four astronauts back to Earth more than a month ahead of schedule. The decision was taken after one crew member required medical evaluation that could not be fully conducted in space.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said the crew member is stable and stressed Thursday that the decision to bring Crew-11 home ahead of schedule is a precautionary move focused on astronaut health, not an emergency evacuation.
