A NASA crew are set to splash down back to Earth after being evacuated from the ISS due to an astronaut suffering a medical issue.
Four astronauts have been forced to leave the space station a month early due to a mystery illness affecting one member.
Nasa hasn’t revealed the nature of the medical issue but has said it’s not due to an injury.
It’s the first time in history that a space crew has had to return to earth before their scheduled return date.
American astronauts Mike Fincke and Zena Cardman, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Platonov and Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui were supposed to stay on board until mid-February.
Station commander Fincke and flight engineer Cardman were due to head outside the International Space Station last Thursday for a marathon 6.5-hour spacewalk to install new external hardware.
