Science/Technology › Russian Cosmonaut Breaks World Record In Space, Spends 878 Days In Orbit (Photo) by WriterNig(op): 3:42pm On Feb 04, 2024*. Modified: 8:44pm 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) ABC News || Associated Press

https://media.cnn.com/api/v1/images/stellar/prod/240131095538-f-16-fighting-falcon.jpgA 🇺🇸 United States Air Force F-16 fighter jet crashed after suffering an in-flight emergency off the coast of South Korea Wednesday, in the third crash of one of the US military’s Korea-based warplanes in less than a year.
The incident occurred during a training mission over the waters west of the Korean Peninsula around 8:41 a.m. local time, according to a statement from Kunsan Air Base, about 110 miles (180 kilometers) south of the capital Seoul.
The pilot, assigned to the 8th Fighter Wing, ejected safely and was recovered about 50 minutes after the crash, the Air Force statement said. The pilot was conscious and taken to a medical facility for assessment, the base said.
“We are very thankful to the Republic of Korea rescue forces and all of our teammates who made the swift recovery of our pilot possible,” said Col. Matthew Gaetke, 8th Fighter Wing commander, in a statement. “Now we will shift our focus to search and recovery of the aircraft.”
The cause of the in-flight emergency is under investigation, the base said.
Wednesday’s crash was the third of a South Korea-based F-16 in less than a year, though there are no indications they are related.
In December, an F-16 from Kunsan crashed off the west coast of the peninsula during training.
The pilot ejected and was rescued by South Korean maritime forces, the 8th Fighter Wing said at the time, adding that no more information on that crash would be released until an investigation was concluded.
In May 2023, an F-16 crashed into an agricultural area near Osan Air Base, south of Seoul, during training. The pilot of that aircraft also ejected safely, and the case was referred to investigation.
The F-16 is the workhorse of US Air Force fighters, with 738 of the single-engine jets in the fleet, according to Flight Global’s “World Air Forces 2024.” The Air Force says F-16s make up about half of its fighter jet inventory.
The service loses between three and four units of the aircraft each year to mishaps worldwide, according to statistics from the Air Force Safety Center, last provided after fiscal year 2021. CNN || Reuters
