SpaceX Crew Dragon Team to Break US Record for Most Days in Space on Sunday

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – On Sunday, US astronauts living aboard the ISS orbital outpost will break the record for most days in space by a crew launched aboard an American spacecraft, NASA said.

The Skylab 4 crew, with NASA astronauts Gerald Carr, Edward Gibson, and William Pogue, docked their Apollo spacecraft to the Skylab space station 47 years to the day the SpaceX crew docked to the orbiting lab, the US space authority noted.

Four flight engineers — Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker, and Soichi Noguchi — docked the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft to the US module last November.
