NASA and SpaceX are targeting no earlier than 5:05 p.m. EST, Wednesday, Jan. 14, for the undocking of the agency’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission.

A Mars spacecraft has now been AWOL for more than a month. But NASA hasn't given up hope of restoring contact with the MAVEN orbiter.

The rollout on Friday is the first step in the Artemis II mission to send a crew of four astronauts to fly around the moon and return within ten days. The flight, which NASA originally had scheduled for late 2024, is now set to launch no later than April.

An astronaut in need of medical care is on the way back to Earth. The ailing astronaut departed the International Space Station with three crewmates on Wednesday.

NASA and SpaceX will both provide livestreams as the Crew-11 astronauts depart the International Space Station today.

The members of Crew-11 — two American, one Russian and one Japanese — splashed down after one became ill, prompting an early return.

An ailing astronaut is back on Earth. The crew of four returned Thursday, ending their space station mission more than a month early in NASA's first medical evacuation.
