The reins of the International Space Station were passed from Fyodor Yurchikhin of Roscosmos to Randy Bresnik of NASA during a ceremony on the orbital outpost Sept. 1. Yurchikhin is returning to Earth with his crewmates, Peggy Whitson and Jack Fischer of NASA in the Soyuz MS-04 spacecraft for a landing Sept. 3. Whitson, who has logged more days in space than any other U.S. astronaut, is completing a 10-month mission, her third long duration flight, while Yurchikhin and Fischer are completing 136 days in space.
