Cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov looks out space station Mir's window during his 438-day flight in 1994–1995. Timeline of longest spaceflights is a chronology of the longest spaceflights. Many of the first flights set records measured in hours and days, the space station missions of the 1970s and 1980s pushed this to weeks and months, and by the ...
The record for most time in space is held by Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko, who has spent 1,111 days in space over five missions. He broke the record of Gennady Padalka on 4 February 2024 at 07:30:08 UTC during his fifth spaceflight aboard Soyuz MS-24 / 25 for a one year long-duration mission on the ISS . [ 21 ]
For the purpose of these lists, a spaceflight is defined as any flight that crosses the Kármán line, the FAI-recognized edge of space, which is 100 kilometres (62 miles) above mean sea level (AMSL). The timeline contains all flights which have crossed the edge of space, were intended to do so but failed, or are planned in the near future.
Astronaut Frank Rubio has now been in low-Earth orbit for more than 355 days, breaking the record for the longest space mission by a US astronaut.

This is a list of the 23 longest spacewalks, also known as an extravehicular activity or EVA. "Agency" here refers to the organization under whose auspices the EVA was conducted (so a Swiss or Japanese astronaut would be listed under NASA if they wore NASA suits and were controlled by Mission Control Houston).
Backdropped by a colorful Earth, astronaut Robert L. Curbeam, Jr. (left) and European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Christer Fuglesang, both STS-116 mission specialists, participate in an EVA. This is a list of cumulative spacewalk records for the 30 astronauts who have the most extra-vehicular activity (EVA) time.
Vladimir Titov and Musa Manarov spent 365 days in space on Mir from December 1987 to December 1988. Valeri Polyakov spent 438 days on Mir in 1994-1995 and Sergey Avdeyev spent 380 days on Mir in 1998-1999. [18] [19] Prior to the year-long mission, the longest mission on the ISS was 215 days by Mikhail Tyurin and Michael López-Alegría.
