A Godmother astronaut who was hospitalized on return from the International Space Station for an unspecified medical condition has been released “in good health,” United Stits space-bar the agency said.

The four-man Crew-8 mission went down off the coast Florida on Friday, after nearly eight months aboard the orbiting laboratory.

NASA has not disclosed which of the astronauts was hospitalized or why, citing medical confidentiality.

However, it said in a blog post that the crew member had returned to the Johnson Space Center in Houston “in good health and will resume normal post-flight reconditioning with other crew members.”

On his way back to Earth, SpaceX Dragon performed a normal reentry and splashdown, and the recovery of the crew and spacecraft was uneventful, NASA said.
