Cosmonautics. Padalka, man-record (2015)

A traditional celebration was held in Star City in honor of the return to Earth of the crew of the Soyuz TMA-16M spacecraft.

After the solemn meeting, Gennady Padalka, Andreas Mogensen and Aydin Aimbetov told at a press conference about their work on the ISS.

Gennady Padalka returned to Earth as the world record holder for total stay in orbit: 878 days or two and a half years of life.

During rehabilitation, the cosmonaut himself became the object of experiments, doctors studied the state of his body after a long stay in weightlessness.

The results of the research will become the basis for preparing astronauts for long-distance expeditions.
