NASA and SpaceX will both provide livestreams as the Crew-11 astronauts depart the International Space Station today.
Two American astronauts and others from Japan and Russia landed in the Pacific Ocean after an early journey home from the International Space Station because one of them was ill.
NASA officials said one crew member experienced a serious medical issue that requires a full diagnostic workup on the ground. The astronaut is stable, officials said. NASA characterized the event as a "controlled expedited return," not an emergency deorbit, meaning the crew will follow standard landing rules and approved splashdown zones.
