NASA orders “controlled medical evacuation” from the International Space Station
摘要
美国国家航空航天局(NASA)因国际空间站一名宇航员出现“医疗状况”,决定提前将七名乘员中的四名送回地球。该机构未透露具体是哪位宇航员受影响,但表示其状况“绝对稳定”,此举是出于谨慎考虑。原定于2月20日左右返回的Crew-11任务宇航员,将在近日提前离开空间站,于加州海岸附近的太平洋海域溅落。
NASA officials said Thursday they have decided to bring home four of the seven crew members on the International Space Station after one of them experienced a "medical situation" earlier this week.
The space agency has said little about the incident, and officials have not identified which crew member suffered the medical issue. James "JD" Polk, NASA's chief health and medical officer, told reporters Thursday the crew member is "absolutely stable" but that the agency is "erring on the side of caution" with the decision to bring to return the astronaut to Earth.
The ailing astronaut is part of the Crew-11 mission, which launched to the station August 1 and was slated to come back to Earth around February 20. Instead, the Crew-11 astronauts will depart the International Space Station (ISS) in the coming days and head for reentry and a parachute-assisted splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California.
