"NASA’s SpaceX Crew-11 Dragon Endeavour capsule undocked from the International Space Station on Wednesday, beginning its return to Earth ahead of a scheduled Thursday splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego. Footage shows the Dragon spacecraft departing from the Harmony module on the US segment of the ISS, as crew members prepared for hatch closure under close monitoring by flight controllers at the International Space Station Flight Control Room in Houston and SpaceX mission control in California. The mission is carrying Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platonov, NASA astronauts Mike Fincke and Zena Cardman, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Kimiya Yui. Crew-11 launched to the ISS from NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre on August 1, docking with the station the following day. The astronauts became the final crew to arrive during Expedition 73 and later welcomed the Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft, which delivered the first new crew of Expedition 74. The crew had originally been scheduled to remain aboard the ISS until late February to enable a direct handover with the incoming SpaceX Crew-12 mission. However, NASA announced that the return timeline was moved forward after one crew member experienced what the agency described as a ‘serious medical concern.’ NASA officials said the decision was made to allow the astronaut to receive prompt medical evaluation and treatment on Earth, adding that safety considerations guided the change in mission duration."
