A veteran of six space flights, British-born astronaut Michael Foale holds the US record for time spent in space.

He has logged over 374 days in orbit, including four spacewalks lasting all together more than 22 hours.

In 1997, he spent 145 days on the Russian space station Mir, during which he experienced a string of problems including a collision with a cargo craft, repeated computer crashes and a loss of power.

In 2003, he returned to space as the commander of the International Space Station, completing his tour of duty on 30 April 2004.
