SpaceX Crew Dragon Sets New Record for Longest Stay in Orbit 
After Nearly 8 Months
SpaceX's Crew Dragon Endeavour has made history by completing the longest mission in orbit, spending 232 days docked to the International Space Station (ISS) during NASA's Crew-8 mission. Initially planned for six months, the mission was extended due to weather-related delays. The Crew Dragon undocked from the ISS on October 23, 2024, and is now preparing for its return to Earth. This accomplishment highlights SpaceX's advancements in space travel, surpassing previous records held by the Space Shuttle. The mission underscores the importance of the Crew Dragon spacecraft in NASA's Commercial Crew program.
