Yuri Lonchakov unexpectedly resigned Thursday (Sept. 5), leaving the Russian federal space agency Roscosmos, despite being assigned to command the International Space Station in 2015. Saying he had found a “better job,” Lonchakov left behind his seat on Soyuz TMA-16M and his assignment to lead the orbiting complex’s Expedition 44 crew. Lonchakov flew three times to space, logging 200 days off the Earth.
