A SpaceX Crew-8 astronaut is currently under hospital observation after the crew safely returned from a 235-day mission aboard the International Space Station. NASA confirmed the astronaut's condition is stable, while the rest of the crew has been cleared following precautionary medical evaluations.
Crew-8 Astronaut Remains Under Observation After Delayed Return to Earth Following 235 Days in Space
On October 25, NASA reported that a crew member aboard SpaceX's Crew-8 mission, which returned to Earth, experienced a rare medical issue and is currently under observation at a hospital. The Crew-8 team, consisting of NASA astronauts Michael Barratt, Jeanette Epps, Matthew Dominick, and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin, safely returned to Earth from the International Space Station (ISS). While all four were transported to a medical facility as a precaution, NASA later confirmed that the astronaut, whose identity has not been disclosed, was not the cosmonaut.
According to Wccftech, NASA said in a statement that the crew member is in stable condition and being monitored closely. The agency emphasized that the precautionary medical checkups were conducted to ensure the crew's well-being following their extended mission.
The Crew-8 mission was initially scheduled to return to Earth in August. However, the mission was extended to allow NASA and Boeing time to evaluate the readiness of the Starliner spacecraft for a crewed return. The Crew Dragon spacecraft, designated as an emergency vehicle during this period, was only cleared to return after the arrival of Crew-9 astronauts at the ISS late last month. Following this, delays, including configuration changes and Hurricane Milton’s impact, pushed the crew’s return further. After spending more than 230 days in space, the astronauts finally made a safe splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico on October 25.
NASA Clears Three Crew-8 Astronauts After Medical Checks, One Remains Hospitalized for Observation
NASA’s press release shared that all Crew-8 members were initially taken to a local medical facility for evaluation out of "an abundance of caution." Following assessments, three astronauts were cleared and transported to NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, while one remains in the hospital under observation. NASA has not disclosed further details about the crew member's condition or identity to protect their privacy.
This mission allowed SpaceX to continue testing the endurance of its Dragon spacecraft. The Crew-8 team spent a grueling 235 days on the ISS, 232 of which were spent on the ISS.
