1000 Days in Space
Context
Oleg Kononenko, a Russian cosmonaut, became the first person to spend 1,000 days in space, according to the Russian space agency Roscosmos. He achieved this milestone during his current trip to the International Space Station (ISS), which began on September 15, 2023.
International Space Station (ISS):
- The ISS serves as a spacecraft, observatory, laboratory, and living quarters for astronauts.
- It floats approximately 240 miles above the Earth's surface and can accommodate up to 10 people at once.
- Objective: to facilitate long-term exploration of space and provide tangible benefits to people on Earth through scientific research.
- Collaborative Effort: Built and operated by 15 countries, including the US, Russia, and Japan, the ISS was initiated in 1998 to serve as a hub for various space-based research initiatives.
- Orbital Dynamics: The ISS orbits the Earth 16 times a day, traveling at a staggering speed of 28,000 km/h, which is equivalent to ten times the speed of a bullet on Earth's surface.
- Bright Night Sky Object: As it orbits the Earth, the ISS is the third brightest object visible in the night sky and can be observed with the naked eye by people on the ground.
