Russian Cosmonaut Breaks World Record In Space, Spends 878 Days In Orbit (Photo) by WriterNig(op): 3:42pm On Feb 04, 2024*

🇷🇺 Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko set a world record on Sunday for total time spent in space, surpassing his fellow Russian Gennady Padalka who logged more than 878 days in orbit, Russia's space corporation said.

Mr Kononenko broke the record at 0830 GMT (7:30pm AEDT), Roscosmos said.

He is expected to reach a total of 1,000 days in space on June 5, and by late September he will have clocked 1,110 days.

"I fly into space to do my favourite thing, not to set records," Mr Kononenko told the TASS news agency in an interview from the International Space Station (ISS), where he is orbiting about 423 kilometres from Earth.

"I am proud of all my achievements, but I am more proud that the record for the total duration of human stay in space is still held by a Russian cosmonaut."

The 59-year-old took the top spot from Mr Padalka, who had accumulated a total of 878 days, 11 hours, 29 minutes and 48 seconds, Roscosmos said.

The Soviet Union spooked the West in the early years of the space race by being the first to launch a satellite to orbit the Earth (Sputnik 1) in 1957, and then Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man to travel into space in 1961.

Top 5 Astronauts who spent the most time in Space:

1. 🇷🇺 Oleg Kononenko - (878 days 11 hours 29 minutes 48 seconds)
2. 🇷🇺 Gennady Padalka - (878 Days)
3. 🇷🇺 Yuri Malenchenko - (827 days 9 hours)
4. 🇷🇺 Sergey Krikalyov - (803 days 9 hours)
5. 🇷🇺 Alexander Kaleri - (769 days 6 hours)

Far ahead yet NASA uses Russian rockets to launch all their satellites till date & uses Soviet Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan till date.

Seems you have no idea SpaceX is getting full US government support because Russia stopped supplying rocket engines to US in 2022.

Una go just dey vomit the rubbish wey CNN force feed una.

Indeed. Have you been living inside a cave or something? Continue watching CNN okay?

The US can't do jack shit in Space without Russian Soyuz propellers.

There was a time Russia threatened to leave US astronauts stranded in Space and the US pleaded with them. Google it.

NASA does use the Soyuz spacecraft for ISS missions.

However, NASA does not use the Soyuz spacecraft to return astronauts to Earth. Instead, NASA uses the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft to return astronauts to Earth.

Please get your facts right.

So the only reason you believe Russia is ahead of USA is because the USA still make use of Russia Soyuz?

Calm down alaye, i said the USA is presently ahead of Russia in the space race, but you claimed

"Far ahead yet NASA uses Russian rockets to launch all their satellites till date & uses Soviet Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan till date"

Then i ask you if it's just because of this you feel the USA is not ahead. I don't want to believe this is the only reason you disagree with my opinion grin

They both carry out joint space projects. Both travel to Space together, live together.

There's literally nothing the US does that Russia hasn't done.

If you think there's any, please list them, we are waiting....
