Two Russian cosmonauts, Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub, successfully returned to Earth on Monday after setting a record 374-day continuous stay aboard the International Space Station (ISS). During this mission, Kononenko, 60, also achieved a remarkable milestone by surpassing 1,111 total days in space across five missions. American astronaut Tracy Dyson, who launched to the ISS in March, accompanied them in the Soyuz MS-25 capsule, landing in Kazakhstan. Despite plans to establish an independent Russian space station, ongoing partnerships with the U.S. continue on the ISS amidst geopolitical tensions.
