On 15 December 2015, the nation watched as Tim Peake successfully launched from Kazakhstan’s Baikonur Cosmodrome at 11:03 GMT.

Alongside his Russian commander Yuri Malenchenko and US astronaut Tim Kopra, Tim reached his destination at 17:33 GMT. The docking procedure had been tense. One of the rocket’s radar systems failed, so the team had to dock manually – a rare (and difficult) task. Fortunately they had rehearsed it just before launch. More than two hours later, the hatch opened and Tim was welcomed by the crew. After dreaming about it for years, he was finally on board the International Space Station.

Then, after six months, he was selected to go into space myself – flying under the mission name Principia. After almost two decades working as a pilot and hundreds of hours training with Esa, he would become the first British Esa astronaut to live and work in space. For six months my job would be to run vital experiments on board the International Space Station, like investigating new vaccines and monitoring the Earth’s climate.

One of the highlights of Peake’s time in orbit was a space walk with the Nasa astronaut Tim Kopra. While their pair’s work on the outside of the station was a success, mission controllers called an end to the spacewalk after Kopra noticed water leaking into his helmet.

“The work that is being done on board the space station is incredibly important and also tremendously exciting as well. It is only natural to want to return,” he added. “The one thing you miss is the view of planet Earth, of course. It is the most spectacular thing you can possibly see.”
