Kononenko was joined by another cosmonaut, Nikolai Chub, along with NASA's Tracy Caldwell Dyson in the landing. His tenure obliterates the previous record held by his fellow Russian Gennady Padalka, who hit 878 cumulative days back in 2015. The 60-year-old space veteran accomplished this feat across five separate missions stretching back to 2008.
