NASA said earlier that it had postponed a spacewalk outside the ISS due to a medical situation that arose on Wednesday.
The spacewalk would have seen ISS Commander Mike Fincke and flight engineer Zena Cardman exit the space station for 6.5 hours to install routing cables and other power equipment to support a new solar array.
The agency said that it would not disclose the crew member’s name due to medical privacy. The crew member’s condition is considered stable, Isaacman said Thursday.
The Crew-11 astronauts’ return was planned for March 2026.
Fincke and Cardman are members of NASA’s Crew-11 alongside colleagues from space agencies in Japan and Russia, Kimiya Yui and Oleg Platonov.
The crew launched from NASA Kennedy Space Center on a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket on August 1, 2025.
