Observer (NY)MAY 12 2024
Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub returned Monday after a record-breaking 374 days in low-Earth orbit on the International Space Station (ISS).
Their Soyuz MS-25 capsule, also carrying the US's Tracy Dyson, reportedly made a smooth landing in the Kazakhstan steppe 3.5 hours after undocking from ISS.
At 1,111 days, Kononenko now also holds the record for reportedly the longest cumulative time in orbit. Dyson spent six months on the space station.
