NASA Astronaut Frank Rubio Sets New US Record for Longest Spaceflight After 371 Days in Space

This prolonged stay surpassed NASA's previous record for a US astronaut's longest time in space.

NASA astronaut Frank Rubio and his crew completed an extraordinary 371-day space mission, surpassing NASA's previous record for the longest time a US astronaut has spent in space.

They safely returned to Earth using a replacement Soyuz capsule launched in February due to concerns about space debris damaging the original capsule.
