Astronauts to begin return journey from space station due to 'medical concern'

Bogdan Hofbauer

Four astronauts are set to begin their return journey from the International Space Station (ISS) to Earth after their mission was cut short due to a "medical concern" with a crew member. NASA said it will bring home the crew "earlier than originally planned" depending on weather conditions, marking the first time it has carried out a medical evacuation from the space station. Officials have not revealed details of the medical issue due to patient privacy, but said the crew member was "stable".
