NASA Shares Latest Update on International Space Station Operations (News Release)

NASA announced on Thursday its decision to return the agency’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission to Earth from the International Space Station earlier than originally planned as teams monitor a medical concern with a crew member currently living and working aboard the orbital laboratory.

The agency anticipates a decision on a target Crew-11 return date in the coming days.
