Record-breaking NASA astronaut Christina Koch returns to Earth after almost a year aboard the International Space Station
This NASA photo released on February 4, 2020 shows NASA astronaut Christina Koch during a spacewalk on January 15, 2020.
The 41-year-old Michigan-born engineer by training surpassed the previous record set for a single spaceflight by a woman - 289 days, held by NASA veteran Peggy Whitson - on December 28, 2019. "It's really fun to be in a place where you can just bounce around between the ceiling and the floor whenever you want," she said, smiling as she twisted her body around the ISS.Koch called three-time flyer Whitson "a heroine of mine" and a "mentor" in the space programme after she surpassed the 59-year-old's record.
But the cosmonauts Russia has sent to the ISS since expeditions began in 2000 have all been men with the exception of Yelena Serova's launch in 2014.
