For the First Time in Human History.. Medical Evacuation in Space, What’s the Reason?

SadaNews - The American space agency "NASA" is set to return a crew of four astronauts to Earth early due to a health issue today, Wednesday, marking an unprecedented event in the history of the International Space Station.

NASA announced that the four astronauts will separate from the International Space Station aboard the "Crew Dragon" spacecraft operated by "SpaceX", owned by American billionaire Elon Musk.

Approximately 11 hours later, American astronauts Zina Kardaman and Michael Fincke, along with Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui and Russian astronaut Oleg Platonov, will land in the waters off the coast of California.

Last week, NASA canceled a planned spacewalk at the International Space Station at the last moment due to health issues faced by one crew member, and then announced it would return the entire crew to Earth early due to this problem.

NASA has declined to comment on the identity of the astronaut or the details of his health condition, describing it as stable.
