During an Earth-to-Space call at 12:05 p.m. EDT Wednesday, Sept. 13, NASA
Administrator Bill Nelson and Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy will speak with
agency astronaut Frank Rubio about his record-breaking mission aboard the
International Space Station.
The call will air live on NASA TV [1], the NASA App [2], and the agency’s
website. Watch online at:

Rubio, who is serving on a year-long mission aboard the orbiting laboratory,
today surpassed NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei’s U.S. record of 355 days in
space as the longest single spaceflight by an American.
When he lands on Earth at the end of the month, Rubio will have 371 days in
space. A list of other NASA station astronaut records [4] is available
online.
For more than 22 years, astronauts have continuously lived and worked aboard
the space station, testing technologies, performing science, and developing
the skills needed to explore farther from Earth.
