TL;DR Summary

Expedition 70 is underway on the International Space Station (ISS) after two crew handovers and technical issues, including a coolant leak on the Russian segment. NASA astronaut Frank Rubio set a new U.S. space endurance record of 371 days, becoming the first American to spend over one calendar year continuously in space. The crew is preparing for Russian EVA-61 and US EVA-89 later this month. The coolant leak on the Nauka science module has been identified and is not impacting operations. The upcoming spacewalks will involve installing a new camera and replacing a trundle bearing assembly on the solar array rotary joint.
