Three crew members have since returned to NASA's Johnson Space Center, while the hospitalized astronaut remains under observation in stable condition.
Following a nearly eight-month deployment on the International Space Station, a NASA astronaut was transported to a hospital, the agency disclosed Friday. The impact of Hurricane Milton and technical issues with Boeing's capsule had caused a delay in the astronaut's homecoming.
According to the NASA blogs, astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin were flown together to Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola in Florida. After medical evaluation at the hospital, three of the crew members departed Pensacola and have arrived at NASA's Johnson Space Centre in Houston.
The one astronaut who remains at Ascension is in stable condition under observation as a precautionary measure. To protect the crew member's medical privacy, specific details on the individual's condition or identity will not be shared.
