Samantha Cristoforetti breaks record for the longest time a female astronaut has spent in space Italian Samantha Cristoforetti has spent longer in space than any other woman, Italian or ESA astronaut. European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti has been on the International Space Station for almost 200 days, meaning she’s now spent longer in space (continuously) than any other female astronaut. Cristoforetti has smashed the record of 195 days set by NASA’s Sunita Williams back in 2007. And, by the time she descends back to Earth inside the Soyuz spacecraft on Thursday (June 11), she’ll have spent a full five days more than Williams in space - bringing her total to exactly 200 days.
