Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko, working at the International Space Station (ISS), has become the first person to spend a cumulative total of 1,000 days in space.
Kononenko's current mission to the ISS began on September 15, 2023, with NASA astronaut Loral O’Hara and Russian cosmonaut Nikolai Chub, marking another significant milestone in his career.
Despite his record-setting achievement, Kononenko emphasizes his passion for space exploration, including his motivation to continue flying, driven by his childhood dream of becoming a cosmonaut and his love for living and working in the classroom.
