\n

NASA carried out<\/a> its first medical evacuation from space early Thursday, bringing four astronauts back to Earth more than a month early after a crew member reported health issues aboard the International Space Station.<\/p>\n

SpaceX guided the Dragon capsule to a nighttime splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego<\/a>, completing the return less than 11 hours after the crew departed the orbiting laboratory.<\/p>\n

“Splashdown of Dragon confirmed \u2013 welcome back to Earth, @zenanaut, @AstroIronMike, @Astro_Kimiya, and Oleg!” SpaceX said in a post on X.<\/p>\n

NASA said the affected astronaut was stable while in orbit, but that mission managers decided an early return<\/a> was the safest course to allow for proper medical evaluation and diagnostic testing on Earth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officials emphasized that the return did not require any special procedures and that standard medical teams were on hand during recovery.<\/p>\n

NASA MAKES \u2018UNPRECEDENTED\u2019 CALL TO BRING ASTRONAUTS HOME AFTER ILLNESS, EXPERT SAYS: \u2018EVACUATED FROM ORBIT\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The mission\u2019s early conclusion left the space station temporarily staffed by just three astronauts \u2014 one American and two Russians<\/a> \u2014 a configuration NASA said is manageable but limits some operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Agency officials said no spacewalks, including emergency repairs, can be conducted until the arrival of the next crew.<\/p>\n

NASA stressed that the decision was precautionary and not the result of an emergency. The health issue emerged on Jan. 7, prompting the cancellation of a scheduled spacewalk the following day and ultimately leading to the shortened mission<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It marked the first time NASA has cut short a spaceflight for medical reasons, though similar decisions were made by Russian space programs decades ago.<\/p>\n

NASA and SpaceX said they are working to move up the launch of a replacement crew of four, currently scheduled for mid-February.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
