The 52-year-old Kelly spent a U.S.-record
340 days in orbit on the International Space Station to see how the
human body holds up for long periods of time in space.
His results are
being compared to those on the ground from his twin brother, Mark, who
is a retired astronaut.
Scott Kelly also holds the American record for most time in space- 520 days over four missions.
“I
look forward to continuing my 30 years of public service in a new
role,” Scott Kelly, who joined the Navy in 1987, said in a Facebook post.
“To continue toward any journey, we must always challenge ourselves to
take the next step.”
