After spending nearly eight months at the International Space Station, four astronauts made their way back to Earth on Friday morning. Among them were three NASA astronauts - Michael Barratt, Matthew Dominick, and Jeanette Epps - and one from the Russian space agency, Alexander Grebenkin.
However, upon their return, one of the NASA astronauts was immediately flown to a hospital due to an unspecified medical condition. The US space agency did not disclose the name of the astronaut for privacy reasons, but it is believed that the individual is experiencing some sort of medical issue.
The crew had initially planned to return home earlier, but their homecoming was delayed due to technical problems with the Starliner capsule. Finally, on Friday, they splashed down off the coast of Florida at 7:29 am, safely aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon.
As a precaution, the entire crew was flown to Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola hospital, but it is unclear at this time if all of them were experiencing health issues. Three of the astronauts have since been discharged and returned to Houston, while the condition of the fourth astronaut remains unknown.
The four personnel - Dominick, Barratt, Epps, and Grebenkin - were launched into space back in March. It was a joint mission between NASA and the Russian space agency, with the ultimate goal of conducting research and experiments at the International Space Station. We can only hope that the affected astronaut makes a speedy recovery and is able to join their colleagues back on Earth soon.
