Passacaglia Edit. The passacaglia is in 3/4 time typical of the form. Bach's ostinato comprises eight bars, which is unusual but not unheard of: an ostinato of the same length is used, for example, in Johann Krieger's organ passacaglia.
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.
Two days later, he passed the previous record for the most total cumulative time spent in space by a U.S. astronaut of 381 days, 15 hours and 11 minutes, including the 180 days on his previous three missions. Kelly's 382 day (and counting) record exceeded the earlier total logged by astronaut Mike Fincke in 2011. A veteran of three missions, Fincke resided on the space station for two long-duration expeditions and then set the prior record on the 16-day final flight of the space shuttle Endeavour.
