4 NASA Astronauts Who Spent More Time Aboard ISS Than Sunita Williams And Butch Wilmore Have So Far

ABP News  

NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry 'Butch' Wilmore have spent far longer in space than originally planned during their current strip, after technical issues with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft prevented their scheduled return. In all, there have been at least four NASA astronauts so far who have spent more than 300 days in space, besides Russian cosmonauts who hold records for the longest stay in space. After the ISS started operations in November 1998, NASA astronaut Frank Rubio created the record of longest stay in space, spending 371 days aboard the orbiting lab, before returning to Earth in October 2023. Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub broke Rubio's record in September 2024, spending 374 days in orbit before coming back to Earth alongside NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson.
