In an interview with the media, he said, “I didn’t fly into space to set a record, but to do what I love the most. I’m even more proud that a Russian cosmonaut continues to hold the record for the longest. cumulative time in space.” he did
Kononenko’s previous record was held by Russian cosmonaut Gendani Padalka between 1998 and 2015. The record for longest time in space at one time is 371 days, set by Frank Rubio of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on September 27 last year.
