Tim spacecraft training
ESA astronaut Tim Peake is training for his Principia mission to the International Space Station. He will join the crew of Expedition 46/47 for six months in space in 2015. Tim will be the first British citizen to live and work on the Space Station and it will be the eighth long-duration mission for an ESA astronaut.
Tim will be launched from Russia’s Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in November 2015 on a Soyuz spacecraft. These images are from a training session near Moscow, Russia, in a Soyuz simulator.
