Four astronauts with SpaceX Crew-11 are set to undock from the International Space Station to make their return to Earth. This planned departure comes after NASA announced that it postponed a spacewalk due to a crew member's medical situation.

With its departure ahead of Crew-12's arrival, Crew-11 leaves behind a skeleton crew of three aboard the ISS, including Kud-Sverchov and fellow cosmonaut Sergei Mikaev as well as NASA astronaut Chris Williams. Crew-12 is currently scheduled to launch no earlier than Feb. 15.

Instead of remaining at the International Space Station (ISS) for the full duration of their mission, the four crew members are coming home a month early due to a medical issue with one of the astronauts.

The crew from NASA's SpaceX Crew-11 mission to the International Space Station are set to splash down off the coast of San Diego County.

NASA gave the go for the SpaceX Crew-11 mission to depart the International Space Station on Wednesday headed for an overnight splashdown back on Earth in the Pacific Ocean.

The four members of NASA's Crew-11 mission are heading home from the International Space Station. Their journey is ending a month early due to an astronaut with a "serious medical condition."

SpaceX launched its third mission of the year from Florida's Space Coast on Monday afternoon while preparing for the early return later this week of Crew-11 from the International Space Station.

NASA astronaut Mike Fincke handed over command of the ISS to Russian cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov ahead of the early departure of Crew-11 due to a medical situation on board.
