He returned to Earth 240 days later aboard TM-7. Polyakov completed his second flight into space in 1994â1995, spending 437 days in space between launching on Soyuz TM-18 and landing on TM-20, setting the record for the longest time continuously spent in space by an individual in human history.
A few hours later, he will land in Kazakhstan, ending 340 consecutive days in space â a record for a NASA astronaut. The previous record was 215 days, reached by Michael Lopez-Alegria during a trip to the space station in 2006 and 2007. Counting his three previous trips to space, Mr. Kelly will have spent a total of 520 days in orbit. âWeâll learn a lot about longer-duration spaceflight,â Mr. Kelly said during a news conference on Thursday broadcast on NASA Television.
