No one has surpassed him so far. Who is the astronaut who has stayed in space the longest in human history?

The longest astronaut in human history, and also the last man in the Soviet Union, Krikalev.

Krikalev was born in 1958 in Leningrad, the former Soviet Union. He had a strong interest in aviation since he was a child. When he grew up, he was successfully admitted to the Leningrad Mechanical Institute. Then he joined the Aerospace Group. In 1985, he was selected by the Soviet aviation department and successfully became an astronaut. After several years of training, in 1988, he entered the Mir space station for the first time on the Soyuz TM-7 spacecraft. . After staying on the space station for 115 days, he successfully returned to Earth. On May 18, 1991, he followed another British man named Helen Sharman on a spaceship to work on the Soviet space station. In the following five months, the original astronauts of the space station and the British people who came with him returned to the ground one after another, and finally he was left alone in the space station. Later, the Soviet Union collapsed, but in October, a brother named Volkov was actually sent to accompany him. However, after they were sent there, the disbanded Soviet Union was unwilling to spend a lot of money to bring them back again, so the two of them found that they could not go back. It really feels a bit pitiful and ridiculous. And when the Soviet Union finally disintegrated and the army was distributed, everyone actually forgot that there was a person like him. They only knew that this person disappeared mysteriously and was almost wanted as a deserter.

It was not until March 17, 1992 that Russia remembered the two of them and took them back. He stayed in space for 311 days. Maybe it’s because after returning to Earth, I found that my country was disintegrated, and I lost my sense of belonging; maybe it’s because I’ve been in space for too long, and I feel that space is my real home. After finally returning to Earth, not long after his return, he went into space with American astronauts and became the first Russian astronaut to fly on an American spacecraft. Until August 2005, he became the longest person to stay in space, staying for 803 days and 9 hours and 39 minutes.
