Description

We have... Touchdown!

On June 8, 2016, ESA astronaut Tim Peake landed back on Earth in Kazakhstan, inside a Russian-made Soyuz TMA-19M spacecraft. Join us today as Tim takes us on a tour of the Soyuz, explaining how it works, what it's like to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere, and his favourite part about being in Space.

You can view the Soyuz Descent Module up close in our new Space Gallery, alongside many other out-of-this-world objects. Find out more here - https://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/see-and-do/space
