NASA astronaut Tim Kopra, Yuri Malenchenko from the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and Tim Peake of the European Space Agency (ESA) will meet the other three Expedition-46 astronauts aboard the ISS to participate in Earth observations and conduct key research to advance knowledge and demonstrate new technologies. The pair will have spent 340 consecutive days living and working in space to advance understanding of the medical, psychological and biomedical challenges astronauts face during long duration spaceflight, in addition to developing countermeasures to reverse those effects.

Major Tim Peake blasted off into orbit yesterday on board the Soyuz space capsule on his way to becoming the first British astronaut to join the crew of the International Space Station (ISS).

“The thing I’m most looking forward to is that I can still interact with everybody down on Earth”, Major Peake said in a statement.

Three other astronauts-NASA’s Kjell Lindgren, Japan’s Kimiya Yui and Russia’s Oleg Kononenko-returned to Earth on Friday. The docking with the ISS took place with a slight delay at a location above India.

Zero gravity was reached by the Soyuz spacecraft after nine minutes of travel.

Pam Horton of the Eden Project, who helped organise the event, said: “It was an wonderful experience to watch Tim Peake launch into space and it was great to see everyone cheering the successful lift off”.

The Soyuz FG rocket was packed with 300 tonnes of fuel.

But they made it, and Peake is now beginning his six-month stay aboard the space station.
