On Jan. 8, NASA announced its decision to return the agency’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission to Earth from the space station earlier than originally planned as teams monitor a medical concern with a crew member currently living and working aboard the orbital laboratory, who is stable. Due to medical privacy, it is not appropriate for NASA to share more details about the crew member.

Dragon hatch has been closed, NASASpaceflight webcast is live, NASA webcast should go live in the next couple minutes.
Thank you for the updates ! It’s like my own low-res space news channel, makes me happy.
Undocking confirmed.
Go no-go poll is complete, they are go for undock.
Undocking now targeting 22:20 UTC.
So only Russians are manning the station now and, and they cannot launch a new crew at the moment.
only Russians are manning the station now
Nope, NASA astronaut Christopher Williams is still there to run the U.S. segment of the ISS. This is one of the benefits of the “seat-swap” agreement between NASA and Roscosmos.
and they cannot launch a new crew at the moment
Yes, with Baikonur Pad 31/6 offline due to the recent damage, and Starliner-1 demoted to an uncrewed test flight, we are once again in the situation where the ISS is reliant on a single vehicle (Dragon) to launch crew. Hopefully it will be only a few months this time, not an entire decade :)
The next Dragon crew is scheduled for Feb 15. NASA is trying to move that up.
Crew egress complete.
Side hatch open.
Splashdown confirmed!
Main chutes deploy. Four healthy mains.
Drogue chute deployment confirmed.
Reentry underway. Chute deployment upcoming.
Trunk jettison and nosecone closure confirmed.
Nominal deorbit burn confirmed.
Trunk separation initiated.

Whew! Whether it was the equivalent of a heart flutter or an ingrown toenail, I didn’t want them dealing with it up there. Way to go getting shit organized and getting them back here.
