(...) Była to najdłuższa misja z dotychczas zrealizowanych z wykorzystaniem załogowego statku kosmicznego wystrzelonego ze Stanów Zjednoczonych. Międzynarodowa załoga tego lotu spędziła 199 dni na orbicie, wobec poprzednio zaliczonych 168 dni w misji NASA SpaceX Crew-1 (zwieńczonej na początku tego roku). (...)

ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Thomas Pesquet, left, NASA astronauts Megan McArthur and Shane Kimbrough, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Aki Hoshide, right, are seen inside the SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft onboard the SpaceX GO Navigator recovery ship shortly after having landed in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, Monday, Nov. 8, 2021.

They wrapped up 199 days, 17 hours and 43 minutes in flight, completed 3,194 orbits of Earth, welcomed or bade farewell to multiple visiting vehicles and supported four sessions of Extravehicular Activity (EVA) from the station’s Quest airlock. (...)
With last night’s splashdown, this veteran spacecraft—which previously executed the historic Demo-2 mission with NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken in the summer of 2020—has now totaled over 263 cumulative days in space. (...)

The seven-strong Expedition 65 crew consisted of (front row, from left) Thomas Pesquet, Megan McArthur and Shane Kimbrough and (back row, from left) Oleg Novitsky, Aki Hoshide, Mark Vande Hei and Pyotr Dubrov. Photo Credit: NASAThe need for Peresild and Shipenko to take the two return seats on Soyuz MS-18 had already necessitated an extension of Dubrov and Vande Hei’s stay in space to almost a full year. They will now return home late next March, after 355 days in orbit. This eventuality was not unexpected at the time of their launch last April and Vande Hei looks set to secure a new record for the longest single mission by a U.S. astronaut. (...)
However, ISS Program Manager Joel Montalbano added that the program has prior experience with indirect handovers. Mr. Montalbano explained that—although Crew Dragon is certified to remain in space for a baseline of 210 days—a steadily worsening weather outlook in Florida as November wears on made it the optimum time to bring Crew-2 home.
In response to a media query, he added that the presence of Vande Hei on the station to continue a permanent U.S. presence during the “break” between the Crew Dragon handovers was “definitely helpful” when making the decision. (...)
Kimbrough, wrapping up his third spaceflight and second long-duration ISS increment, has now logged more than 388 cumulative days in orbit and over 59 hours of spacewalking experience in nine career EVAs.
McArthur completes her second flight with a personal total of 212 days, whilst Hoshide has spent 340 days in orbit over three missions. He is also Japan’s most experienced spacewalker, with more than 28 hours across four EVAs. And Pesquet has seized multiple records as his total of 396 days from two long-duration ISS stays positions him as the most experienced non-U.S. or non-Russian spacefarer, together with the greatest number of EVA hours of any European astronaut.

(...)
The Crew-2 astronauts had been on the space station since their launch on April 23, 2021. During their mission, which spanned Expeditions 65 and 66, Kimbrough, McArthur, Pesquet and Hoshide helped conduct hundreds of experiments, ranging from testing new technologies in robotics and augmented reality, studying water bears, racking microbes and growing chile peppers.
"We've all been very excited about this plant habitat for a project that's been on going for over 100 days when Shane initiated the project by planting the seeds," said McArthur. "It's really been a nice morale boost, as well as an interesting science project." (...)
