An American citizen, Scott Kelly, created a new record for NASA. The record was presented to him for the most total cumulative time spent in space. Kelly spent 381 days, 15 hours and 11 minutes in space. The International Space Station's Expedition 45 crew was planned for a 342-day space mission, but they have passed that time. More or less, Kelly is the first American to spend over a year in space.
As of right now, Kelly is looking at returning on March 3, 2016, which will leave him with a total of 522 days living in space. Lastly, Kelly has another record which is with his twin brother Mark. The two of them together completed a mission and got recognized for the first set of twins to both be astronauts.
