October 17, 2015 02:34

US astronaut Scott Kelly has set a new record for the most days spent in space by an American, marking October 16 as his 383rd day spent off Earth.

Kelly's record surpasses astronaut Mike Fincke's cumulative 382 days in space, NASA announced Friday.

On October 29, Kelly will make history again when he breaks Expedition 14 commander Michael Lopez-Alegria's record for the longest spaceflight by an American, which currently stands at 215 days.

Kelly has been living aboard the International Space Station, where he conducts scientific experiments and uses social media to document life aboard the craft.
