Record-setting NASA astronaut lands with two cosmonauts from space station
NASA astronaut Jeff Williams safely landed back on Earth on Tuesday night (Sept. 6), setting a new, potentially long-lasting record for the most time spent in space by an American.
Williams, along with Oleg Skripochka and Alexey Ovchinin of Roscosmos, departed the International Space Station at 5:51 p.m. EDT (2151 GMT) and touched down three hours later on the steppe of Kazakhstan aboard Russia's Soyuz TMA-20M spacecraft.
At the point of their landing, at 9:13 p.m. EDT (0113 GMT or 7:13 a.m. local time, Sept. 7), Williams added 172 days to his four-spaceflight career, bringing his total time off the planet to 534 days, 2 hours and 48 minutes.
