Astronaut's 'serious medical condition' forces Nasa to end space station mission early

NASA has decided to end the mission of a four-person crew aboard the International Space Station (ISS) early due to a serious medical condition affecting one of the astronauts. The agency has not disclosed details about the crew member or the specific medical issue but confirmed that the situation is stable and characterized the decision as a precautionary measure.

Four astronauts pose together in front of a softly lit dark‑blue studio backdrop. All wear matching blue flight suits vered in mission patches and agency logos on their chests and sleeves. Two astronauts stand at the back, while the other two sit on tall stools at the front, so their bodies form a loose diamond shape. Their faces have been blurred into smooth ovals, so no expressions or eye direction are visible. The standing astronaut on the left has short hair and a patch with Cyrillic lettering; the one on the right has a JAXA logo. Of the seated pair, one appears centrally, leaning slightly forward with hands clasped, while the other sits side‑on at the right, with one leg crossed over the other and an American flag patch on the upper arm
