Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 52 Flight Engineer Peggy Whitson of NASA discussed her record-breaking mission on the orbital outpost during an in-flight interview July 7 with the internet media site, NowThis.com. Whitson, who launched to the station last November, is in the final months of her third long duration mission on the complex. She has already spent more days in space than any other American astronaut and established a record for the most spacewalks conducted by a female. She is scheduled to return to Earth Sept. 3 for a landing in a Russian Soyuz spacecraft in Kazakhstan.
