Oleg Kononenko during a 2012 spacewalk – NASA.

Oleg Kononenko has become the first human to accumulate 1,000 hours of spaceflight over a 16-year career visiting and living aboard the ISS.

The milestone comes on his fifth flight to space and during his third stint as the commander of the ISS. In February he passed the previous record of 878 days, held by fellow Ruscosmos pioneer, Gennady Paldaka.

Arriving aboard the Soyuz MS-24 spacecraft last September alongside cosmonaut Nikolai Chub and NASA astronaut Loral O’Hara, he won’t touch down again for another 4 months, at which point he will become one of the most valuable human biology specimens in the world.
