A handout picture made available by NASA on 18 October 2015 shows US astronaut Scott Kelly inside the Cupola, a European Space Agency (ESA)-built observatory module of the International Space Station (ISS) providing a 360-degree view of the Earth and the space station, 12 July 2015. Kelly, commander of the current ISS Expedition 45 crew, on 16 October 2015, marked his 383rd day living in space, surpassing US astronaut Mike Fincke's record of 382 cumulative days. Kelly will break another record on 29 October 2015, for his 216th consecutive day in space, when he will surpass astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria's 215 days record for the single-longest spaceflight by an American. Kelly is scheduled to return to Earth on 03 March 2016, by which time he will have compiled 522 total days living in space during four missions. (Photo by EPA/NASA)
