NASA astronaut Christina Koch holds the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman. She surpassed NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson's 289 days during Expedition 61 in 2019. She returned on February 6, 2020 after 328 days in space. In third place is American astronaut Anne McClain with 204 days.

Longest continuous occupation of space

An international partnership consisting of Russia, the United States, Canada, Japan and the member states of the European Space Agency have jointly maintained a continuous human presence in space since 31 October 2000, when Soyuz TM-31 was launched. Two days later it docked with the International Space Station. Since then space has been continuously occupied for.

Longest continuous occupation of a spacecraft

The International Space Station has been continuously occupied since 2 November 2000. It broke the record of 9 years and 358 days of the Soviet/Russian Space Station Mir on 23 October 2010.

Longest solo flight

flew solo for 4 days, 23 hours in Vostok 5 from 14 to 19 June 1963. The flight set a space endurance record which was broken in 1965 by the Gemini 5 flight. The Apollo program included long solo spaceflight, and during the Apollo 16 mission, T. K. Mattingly orbited solo around the Moon for more than 3 days and 9 hours.

Longest time on the lunar surface

and Harrison Schmitt of the Apollo 17 mission stayed for 74 hours 59 minutes and 40 seconds on the lunar surface after they landed on 11 December 1972. They performed three EVAs totaling 22 hours 3 minutes, 57 seconds.

Longest time in lunar orbit

of Apollo 17 mission stayed in lunar orbit for 6 days and 4 hours ; however, for the solo portion of that flight around the Moon, T. K. Mattingly on Apollo 16 spent 1 hour 38 minutes longer than Evans' solo duration.

Speed and altitude records

Farthest humans from Earth

The Apollo 13 crew, while passing over the far side of the Moon at an altitude of from the lunar surface, were from Earth. This record-breaking distance was reached at 0:21 UTC on 15 April 1970.

Highest altitude for crewed non-lunar mission

crew Charles Conrad, Jr. and Richard F. Gordon, Jr. fired their Agena Target Vehicle rocket engine on 14 September 1966, at 40 hours 30 minutes after liftoff and achieved a record apogee altitude of.

Fastest

The Apollo 10 crew achieved the highest speed relative to Earth ever attained by humans: 39,897 kilometers per hour. The record was set 26 May 1969.

7: Anatoly Solovyev, during the 24th Expedition on the Soviet/Russian space station Mir, in 1997–98.
7: Andrew Morgan, during his first spaceflight on board the ISS for Expedition 60/61/62 in 2019-2020. He spent 45 hours and 48 minutes outside the station.
6: Leonid Kizim and Vladimir Solovyov, the third crew on the Soviet space station Salyut 7.
Longest single spacewalk
8 hrs 56 min, by James Voss and Susan Helms, 11 March 2001 on an ISS assembly mission during Shuttle mission STS-102. The space walkers were delayed early in their excursion when a portable foot restraint attachment device became untethered, and Voss had to retrieve a spare from its storage location on the outside of the station’s Unity module. After approximately six hours of work the pair reentered Space Shuttle Discovery’s airlock and waited for a docking port to be maneuvered to its new location, but remained at the ready to assist if needed.
Animal records

First animals in space

The first animals to enter space were fruit flies launched by the United States in 1947 aboard a V-2 rocket to an altitude of. They were also the first animals to safely return from space.

First animal in orbit

was a Soviet female canine launched on 3 November 1957 on Sputnik 2. The technology to de-orbit had not yet been developed, so there was no expectation for survival. She died several hours into flight. Belka and Strelka became the first canines to safely return to Earth from orbit on 19 August 1960.

Longest canine single flight

Soviet space dogs Soviet space dogs#Veterok and Ugolyok and Ugolyok were launched on 22 February 1966 on board Cosmos 110 and spent 22 days in orbit before landing on 16 March.

First animals beyond low-Earth orbit

An assortment of animals including a pair of Russian tortoises, as well as wine flies and mealworms launched with a number of other biological specimens including seeds and bacteria on a circumlunar mission aboard the Soviet Zond 5 spacecraft on 15 September 1968. It was launched by a Proton-K rocket. The capsule came within of the Moon and later successfully returned to Earth, the first spacecraft in history to return safely to Earth from the Moon.
