      Joao: Tim’s mission is very important: he is performing all different types of experiments on board the International Space Station, helping us understand the effects of space on the human body and also understand our Universe.

      Tim had a huge 6month mission with hundreds of experiments. It was very important for ESA Science and he also helped with NASA and JAXA science.

      Tim was the first British ESA Astronaut!
