Happy Birthday @astro_timpeake! To celebrate Tim Peake’s birthday we – along with our pals @railwaymuseum @LocomotionSHD @mediamuseum @sim_manchester – are sharing some out-of-this-world objects & stories inspired by Peake’s missions to the International @Space_Station

We’re launching with the incredible Soyuz TMA-19M descent module from our collection that took Tim Peake, Yuri Malenchenko & Tim Kopra to the ISS in 2015 & returned them safely to Earth. In this video, Tim gives us a ‘peake’ inside the capsule: https://bit.ly/3aNrxxN 

From space capsules to space food, in 2016, with help from celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal, Tim Peake enjoyed the first bacon sarnie to ever be consumed in space. Discover more on our blog: https://bit.ly/2UMGnit
