No one knows, but typically astronauts do not stay in space for more than 1 year. Otherwise, the zero gravity will degrade their bones and muscles

What are the astronauts' achievements?

The early Soyuz and Mercury astronauts found out that man could survive in space. That meant eating, sleeping, going to the bathroom, and even manipulating the spacecraft in space. Astronauts on both sides of the Space Race found out in the mid 1960s that man could work outside the spacecraft with proper restraints. Gemini astronauts performed the first rendezvous and docking in space, an important milestone in reaching the moon. The Apollo astronauts achieved the first manned flight to the moon, showing that man can survive a trip through the Van Allen Belt. Apollo 11 showed man could land on the moon and return safely to the earth. Astronauts on Soviet space stations, Mir, Skylab, and the Space Shuttle showed that man can survive in space for months at a time. They also built the International Space Station, and continue making advances in all scientific areas.
