Year 4 Live Space Launch!

On the morning of Tuesday 15th December 2015, at 11.03, Tim Peake launched into space on a Soyuz rocket to spend six months on board the International Space Station. Tim’s mission was named Principia, after Sir Isaac Newton’s work on the laws of motion. During Tim’s time in space he ran scientific experiments for hundreds of researchers, went on a spacewalk and inspired the next generation of space explorers through numerous activities, looking at topics such as coding, maths, fitness and nutrition.

Yesterday, we were invited by The Science Museum to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Tim’s mission by building and then launching our very own rocket with them at 11.03 on Monday 15 December 2025.
