NASA on Friday said the space agency and SpaceX are targeting to undock the agency’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission from the International Space Station no earlier than 5 p.m. ET (2200 GMT) on Wednesday, January 14, pending weather conditions.

Earlier this week NASA said it was mulling an early return of the crew of the International Space Station over what it described as a "medical concern" with an astronaut.
