Astronaut Frank Rubio sets the record for the longest U.S. spaceflight, surpassing the former record of 355 days at the International Space Station.
Rubio surpassed the U.S. space endurance record of 355 days Monday. He arrived at the outpost in September 2022 with two Russians for a routine six months. But their stay was doubled after their Soyuz capsule developed a coolant leak while parked at the space station.
The trio will return to Earth on Sept. 27 in a replacement capsule that was sent up empty for the ride home. By then, Rubio will have spent 371 days in space, more than two weeks longer than , the previous U.S. record holder for a single spaceflight. Russia holds the world record of 437 days, set in the mid-1990s.A replacement crew of two Russians and an American is set to launch to the station from Kazakhstan on Friday.
