Four astronauts who left the International Space Station a month early have returned to Earth, splashing down off the coast of California.
Crew 11 disembarked the Dragon Endeavour at about 01:30 local time (09:30 GMT) after an 11 hour journey back to Earth.
The astronauts, Mike Fincke and Zena Cardman, Japan’s Kimiya Yui and cosmonaut Oleg Platonov, arrived on the ISS on 1 August expecting to complete a standard six and a half month stay.
But last week, a scheduled spacewalk by Fincke and Cardman was called off at the last minute.
Hours later, Nasa revealed a crew member had become ill.
