Crew-11 early-return plan sets recovery targets subject to conditions

NASA published Crew-11 early-return arrangements on 13 January, updating the English notice on 14 January to target undocking at 5:20 p.m. EST that day and recovery off California early the following morning. The shortened stay followed a monitored medical concern involving one stable crew member. No identity or diagnosis was disclosed, and none is inferred. Spacecraft and recovery readiness, weather and sea conditions govern departure. The Spanish notice retains the earlier 5:05 p.m. estimate; the English update explicitly supersedes that planned minute, not the mission itself. Actual 15 January splashdown is a separate verified event. Targets are not execution timestamps, and no unreported station-system accident is implied.
