Citing privacy, NASA did not identify the astronaut or provide details about the medical issue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The hospitalized astronaut, who NASA said was \u201cin stable condition under observation as a precautionary measure,\u201d was one of four astronauts who splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico near Pensacola, Fla., at 3:29 a.m. Eastern time at the conclusion of nearly eight months in space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This mission, the eighth operational flight that SpaceX has undertaken for NASA, was known as Crew-8. The astronauts \u2014 Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt and Jeanette Epps of NASA and Alexander Grebenkin of the Russian space agency Roscosmos \u2014 launched in March as part of a regular six-month rotation of crew members on the International Space Station.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The undocking and splashdown occurred without any technical issues. In a video streamed from the deck of the recovery ship, the astronauts appeared to emerge from the capsule without problem, and all four then underwent initial health checks. During a news conference an hour and a half after their return, a NASA official said the crew was \u201cdoing great.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Later in the day, NASA issued an update saying that all four astronauts had been taken to a Pensacola hospital as a precaution. Another update in the afternoon said three of the astronauts had returned to Houston.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Crew-8 mission was extended by about two months. The postponements started because of problems with <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/13\/science\/boeing-starliner-astronauts-wilmore-williams.html\" title=\"\">Boeing\u2019s troubled Starliner spacecraft<\/a>, which occupied one of two available docking ports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The astronauts of Crew-8 could not come home because the SpaceX Dragon vehicle that carried them to orbit took up a second docking port. That left nowhere to dock for the Crew-9 mission that would bring up the next complement of space station astronauts in another Crew Dragon vehicle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Crew-8 astronauts thus had to wait in space until after Starliner departed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">NASA decided that the Starliner astronauts would remain in orbit as part of the space station crew, and an empty Starliner successfully returned to Earth on Sept. 6.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Crew-9 with two other astronauts launched three weeks later, paving the way for the Crew-8 astronauts to finally return home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Then weather intervened, first with Hurricane Milton passing over Florida. Even after the hurricane passed, the weather conditions around Florida remained unfavorable until Wednesday, when the Crew Dragon with the four astronauts undocked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/25\/science\/nasa-spacex-astronaut-hospital.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A NASA astronaut experiencing a \u201cmedical issue\u201d was hospitalized early Friday after returning from the International Space Station, the space agency said Friday.
