During the mission, Koch took part in what was the first all-female spacewalk alongside NASA astronaut Jessica Meir.
At 12:50 a.m. EST, February 6, a Russian Soyuz spacecraft is scheduled to undock from the ISS carrying Koch as well as her Expedition 691 colleagues Commander Luca Parmitano and Alexander Skvortsov
The record for longest single spaceflight is held by retired NASA astronaut Scott Kelly who spent a continuous 340 days aboard the ISS between 2015 and 2016. Expedition 61 is Koch's third mission aboard the ISS and in total she ranks seventh on the list for overall time spent in space among U.S. astronauts.
Many of these investigations have explored various aspects of how the human body responds to long-term spaceflight, taking into account factors such as weightlessness, isolation, radiation, and the stress of long missions. In Koch's case, this kind of research will also help scientists to understand the differences in how male and female bodies adapt to the unique conditions of space.
