A SpaceX Crew Dragon splashed down early on Jan. 15, 2026, after an astronaut’s medical emergency ended the Crew-11 mission.
A SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule carrying four astronauts splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off California on January 15, 2026, marking the first time an International Space Station mission was cut short due to a medical emergency.
The Crew-11 mission, originally planned for 167 days, ended early after one crew member experienced a serious medical condition, prompting NASA and SpaceX to initiate an emergency return.
The astronauts—NASA’s Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, Japan’s Kimiya Yui, and Russia’s Oleg Platonov—undocked on January 14 and completed a 10.5-hour descent, with live footage showing parachute deployment and a safe splashdown.
The affected crew member is stable, but NASA has not disclosed details due to privacy.
The event was broadcast online, and dolphins were seen near the capsule post-landing.
