When trying to phone his wife, Major Peake heard a woman answer so asked: “Hello, is that planet Earth?”
“Santa’s sleigh” will be visible in sky today (Christmas Eve) as the International Space Station, with Sussex astronaut Tim Peake, passes over UK.
Peake, who is a former major in the Army, is the first Briton to join the crew of the ISS and is employed by the European Space Agency.
Peake is a British astronaut who arrived at the International Space Station on December 15.
A little earlier, Peake had wished all his followers a merry Christmas alongside a snap of Earth.
Before the arrival of the cargo ship, Nasa Commander Scott Kelly and Flight Engineer Tim Kopra conducted an unplanned spacewalk to move a transporter rail auto on the ISS so that the Progress 62 spacecraft could successfully lock into place. People in southern England could see it in West at about 4.24 pm where it will be visible for six minutes and then disappear below the south-eastern horizon.
‘So we’ll be able to see a different object flying over the rooftops on Christmas Day’. Seen from south-west England, it will have a higher elevation of around 30 degrees.
