US EditionNASA astronaut Frank Rubio breaks US record for longest spaceflight
- Astronaut Frank Rubio has broken the record for the longest space mission by a US astronaut, surpassing 355 days in low-Earth orbit. Rubio is expected to spend at least 371 days in orbit, becoming the first American to spend more than one calendar year in microgravity.
- Rubio's mission was initially intended to be a six-month stay on the International Space Station, but a coolant leak in the spacecraft extended his time in space. His return date has been pushed back to September.
- The record for the longest space mission overall is held by Russian cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov, who spent 437 continuous days in orbit. The US record for the most accrued days in space is held by Peggy Whitson, with a total of 675 days in orbit.
