Russian cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin will set a record tonight for their time on the International Space Station. This was reported by Roscosmos.
Today, cosmonauts of the Roscosmos State Corporation, Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin, will set a record among Russian citizens for the duration of a single flight as part of the International Space Station program.
The cosmonauts will break the record of Petr Dubrov, who spent 355 days, 3 hours, 45 minutes and 21 seconds on the ISS, at 20:40:11 Moscow time.
Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin arrived at the ISS together with NASA astronaut Frank Rubio in September 2022. Their stay on the International Space Station was delayed due to the depressurization of the external circuit of the radiator of the thermal control system of the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft. The cosmonauts will return to Earth on the Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft on September 27.
Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin are currently preparing to return to Earth. They underwent a medical examination and trained in the Chibis-M complex, which will help the cosmonauts adapt more quickly and easily after landing.
