NASA transfers command of the International Space Station to Earth

Khaberni - Yesterday, American astronaut Michael Fincke handed over the command of the International Space Station to Earth just before the early return of four astronauts due to the health condition of Russian astronaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov.

It is scheduled that the return of the four astronauts will begin next Wednesday, and NASA has not disclosed the identity of the crew members affected or the nature of the health issue.

It is worth mentioning that NASA had previously announced that four members of Crew 11 will return to Earth early, marking the first time this happens in the history of the International Space Station.
