		</div><p>US President Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka will call the International Space Station next week to congratulate the ISS commander on setting a new record in space. On April 24, Peggy Whitson, the first woman to command the ISS, will beat Jeffrey Williams’s 534-day record to become the American astronaut to have the longest cumulative stay in space.</p>
<p>The 57-year-old biochemist also holds the record for most spacewalks conducted by a female astronaut.<br />
Whitson’s time in space was extended to coincide with the availability of Russian Soyuz capsule – which American astronauts use to return to Earth. This comes after Trump signed new legislation adding human exploration of Mars to Nasa’s mission.</p>

<p>Trump hailed the work of the space agency when he signed the bill, saying it “has inspired millions and millions of Americans to imagine distant worlds and a better future right here on Earth”.<br />
You can watch the call, which is expected to last about 20 minutes, live on Nasa TV.</p>
