NASA has just provided the timeline for the return of #Crew11: https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/spacestation/2026/01/09/nasa-spacex-set-target-date-for-crew-11s-return-to-earth/ - Wednesday, Jan. 14, 20:30 UTC Hatch closing, 22:00 Undocking, Thursday, Jan. 15, 7:50 Deorbit burn, 8:40 UTC Splashdown.

We finally learn what the medical emergency was that struck ISS astronaut Mike Fincke in January and led to the early return of #Crew11 - what had caused it still seems to be a mystery, though: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/he-suddenly-couldnt-speak-in-space-nasa-astronaut-says-his-medical-scare-remains-unsolved

The #Crew11 has left the ISS, for a splash-down at 8:41 UTC: webcast on https://www.youtube.com/live/qRVoblm2Nxw from 7:15 UTC, timeline in https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-to-provide-live-coverage-of-crew-11-return-splashdown/ and updates on https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/spacestation/2026/01/14/dragon-undocks-from-station-heads-for-splashdown/

Undocking of #Crew11 is expected in about 10 minutes (there had been a slight delay in packing stuff): webcast at https://www.youtube.com/live/IakRgsTYUDY
