WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson said on Friday that it was a privilege to have flown to the International Space Station (ISS) on the historical Soyuz MS-25 rocket with Russian cosmonauts.
On September 23, Dyson and Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub returned to Earth aboard the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft.

"It's also been a privilege and a pleasure to have flown not once, but twice, with our Russian partners aboard their historical Soyuz rocket and their spacecraft, as well as participating in all of their deep traditions through training as well as launch and landing," Dyson said during a press conference.

Kononenko and Chub went to the ISS on September 15, 2023, and spent 374 days in space altogether, setting a new record for the longest duration on a single mission on the ISS.

In February, Russian cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin, as well as US astronaut Frank Rubio set the previous record of 370 days, 21 hours, 22 minutes and 16 seconds in space.
