NASA and SpaceX are targeting 5:05 PM EST (22:05 UTC) on Wednesday, Jan. 14, for the undocking of the Crew-11 mission from the International Space Station. Crew Dragon Endeavour and its crew of four — comprised of two NASA astronauts, one Japanese astronaut, and one Russian cosmonaut — are scheduled to splashdown in the Pacific Ocean a few hours later at 12:40 AM PST (08:40 UTC) on Thursday, Jan. 15.
Crew-11 launched to the Station on Aug. 1 and was intended to complete an eight-month mission, with a return slated for April 2026. However, due to an undisclosed medical situation aboard the Station ahead of a planned extravehicular activity (or “spacewalk”), NASA elected to return the crew early. In a Jan. 11 post, ISS commander and Crew-11 pilot, Michael Fincke, noted that “everyone on board is stable, safe, and well cared for.”
