Scott Kelly: The American Astronaut Who Spent a Year in Space
Scott Kelly is a former NASA astronaut who is best known for spending nearly a year on the International Space Station and for spending 520 days in space, which puts him on the list of Americans who have spent the most time in space. (The current record holder is Peggy Whitson, at 665 days.)
Kelly completed two long-duration space station missions and two shorter-duration space shuttle missions between 1999 and 2015. Scott Kelly is the twin brother of Mark Kelly, who also was a NASA astronaut.
The principle scientific goal during Scott Kelly's one-year mission was to better understand how the human body adapts to lengthy periods in space. Most ISS missions are only five to six months in length. While longer missions of approximately a year (in one case more than 400 days) took place on the Mir space station in the 1990s, modern medicine has made it easier to measure the physiological and genetic changes that occur.
Kelly and Russian colleague Mikhail Kornienko both spent 340 consecutive days on the ISS, al

Scott Kelly (astronaut)
American engineer and astronaut (born 1964)
Scott Joseph Kelly born February 21, 1964) is an American engineer, retired astronaut, and naval aviator. A veteran of four space flights, Kelly commanded the International Space Station (ISS) on Expeditions 26, 44, 45, and 46.
Kelly's first spaceflight was as pilot of Space Shuttle Discovery during STS-103 in December 1999. This was the third servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, and lasted for just under eight days.[3] Kelly's second spaceflight was as mission commander of STS-118, a 12-day Space Shuttle mission to the ISS in August 2007.[4] Kelly's third spaceflight was as a crewmember on Expedition 25/26 on the ISS. He arrived at the ISS aboard Soyuz TMA-01M on October 9, 2010, and served as a flight engineer until he took over command of the station on November 25, 2010, at the start of Expedition 26.[5][6][7] Expedition 26 ended on March 16, 2011, with the departure of Soyuz TMA-01M.[8]
In November 2012, Kelly and Russian c
