"Expedition 70: Rubio's Record Stay, Technical Issues, and Upcoming EVAs in ISS Roundup"

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.

"Preparations to Safely Return Astronauts from International Space Station"

Preparations are underway to bring back three astronauts who have spent nearly a year on the International Space Station (ISS), six months longer than planned, due to the catastrophic damage suffered by their Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft. The Soyuz MS-23 rescue craft is being prepared for their return to Earth, while the damaged spacecraft was brought back in March. The extended stay means that Nasa astronaut Frank Rubio will set a new record for the longest time spent by an American astronaut in space, and the Russian cosmonauts will also set a new record for the longest time spent by Russians on the ISS.
