Peggy Whitson is now the oldest woman to orbit Earth.
佩吉·惠特森現在是繞地球飛行的最年長者。
The 56-year-old NASA astronaut arrived at the International Space Station on Saturday.
這位56歲的美國宇航局宇航員于周六抵達國際空間站。
That just beats the previous record-holder, Barbara Morgan, who was 55 when she went to space.
這剛好擊敗以前的紀錄保持者芭芭拉·摩根，她在55歲上太空。
This is far from Whitson's first record, though. She's on her third mission in space, having already become the ISS' first female commander and the only woman to ever lead NASA's astronaut corps.
這遠不是惠特森的首個紀錄。他是第三次執行太空任務，已成為國際空間站的首位女性指揮官，以及唯一領導美國宇航局宇航員隊的女性。
She even holds the record for most time in space among female astronauts –– which actually made getting cleared this time more difficult, since NASA limits how much radiation astronauts are exposed to.
她甚至是在太空時間最長的女性宇航員，實際上使得這次更為艱難，因為美國宇航局限制宇航員暴露輻射的量。
By the end of her mission, Whitson should break another record: Most days spent in space by an American, regardless of gender.
任務結束后，惠特森要打破另一項記錄：在太空時間最長的美國人，無論性別。
