Russian Cosmonauts Set Record for Longest Stay on the ISS

Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub surpass previous record with 374 days in space, returning to Earth on Monday.

Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub broke the previous ISS stay record of 370 days, 21 hours, and 22 minutes, set in September 2023.
The cosmonauts are scheduled to return to Earth on September 23, 2024, after spending a total of 374 days in space.
Kononenko, 59, will have accumulated 1,110 days in space over five missions by the end of this trip, setting another record for most cumulative time in space.
Two American astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, have been on the ISS longer than planned due to issues with their Boeing Starliner capsule.
The extended missions provide valuable data on the effects of long-duration spaceflight, aiding future missions to the Moon and Mars.
