Dear Friends Of Space and Astronomy Science,

Sunita Williams, a US astronaut aboard the International Space Station,
has set a new record for the longest unbroken space flight by a woman.
As of 0547 GMT on Saturday, she had passed the 188-day, four-hour mark
set by Shannon Lucid in 1996.
Mrs Williams, who is of Indian and Slovenian extraction, is due to
return to Earth on Thursday on the Atlantis.
She earlier set a record for the longest space walk by a woman, reaching
22 hours and 27 minutes.
That record had been held by astronaut Kathryn Thornton at just over 21
hours.
In her six months in space, Mrs Williams has also "run" the Boston
Marathon on a treadmill.

US astronaut Sunita Williams has now spent more time walking in space
than any other woman.

The record was set as she and a crewmate upgraded the International
Space Station's cooling system on Sunday.
Ms Williams broke the previous record set by American Kathryn Thornton
of just over 21 hours; setting a new one of 22 hours and 27 minutes.
With colleague Michael Lopez-Alegria, she completed the second of three
scheduled spacewalks in nine days.

During Sunday's spacewalk, which lasted more than seven hours, small
amounts of toxic ammonia leaked from a fluid line.
The liquid ammonia, which freezes into flakes when it hits the vacuum of
space, did not appear to touch either astronaut.
