Astronaut Mike Fincke said in a statement issued by NASA<\/a> on Wednesday that he was the individual who experienced a medical issue that resulted in Crew-11’s early return from the International Space Station<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n

“On Jan.\u00a07, while aboard the International Space Station, I experienced a medical event that required immediate attention from my incredible crewmates. Thanks to their quick response and the guidance of our NASA flight surgeons, my status quickly stabilized,” Fincke said in the statement.<\/p>\n

“After further evaluation, NASA<\/a> determined the safest course was an early return for Crew-11 \u2014 not an emergency, but a carefully coordinated plan to be able to take advantage of advanced medical imaging not available on the space station. On Jan.\u00a015, we splashed down off the coast of San Diego after an amazing five-and-a-half-month mission,” he added.<\/p>\n

Fincke did not divulge the nature of the medical issue<\/a>, but he said that he is doing well.<\/p>\n

“I am deeply grateful to my fellow Expedition 74 members \u2014 Zena Cardman, Kimiya Yui, Oleg Platonov, Chris Williams, Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, and Sergei Mikayev \u2014 as well as the entire NASA team, SpaceX, and the medical professionals at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla near San Diego. Their professionalism and dedication ensured a positive outcome,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m doing very well and continuing standard post-flight reconditioning at NASA\u2019s Johnson Space Center in Houston. Spaceflight is an incredible privilege, and sometimes it reminds us just how human we are. Thank you all for your support,” the astronaut added.<\/p>\n

NASA noted<\/a> last month that its SpaceX Crew-11 mission returned to Earth around a month sooner than planned due to a medical issue with a crew member.<\/p>\n
