We have our wings! On Monday, we graduated as Astronauts, after 13 months of basic training. The past year has been incredible - full of challenges, new friendships, and the start of a hugely exciting journey to space ✨ Thank you to everyone who has supported us getting here 🙏

Great start to this year’s Farnborough Airshow. The Space Zone goes from strength to strength. So many exciting, innovative companies represented, doing amazing things in the space industry for the benefit of people on Earth. Great chance to catch up with European Space Agency DG Josef Aschbacher

I loved talking to so many schoolchildren excited about space and science today 🤩 We also had a chance to meet the incredibly gifted international teams of students taking part in this year’s rocketry challenge 🚀 I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr Clara Nellist and Jessica

I found this incredible - the first micrometeorite, found in 2015, was spotted by Jon Larsen as it sat on the table beside his food (it’s barely possible to see in the mock-up photo - next to the bowl of strawberries). Micrometeorites are the same size as what I would think of as

Last week: studying the Ries impact crater in Germany! ☄️ The crater is around 25km wide and was created from an asteroid impact 15 million years ago. Although Earth has experienced many impacts over its lifetime, a lot of evidence for that has gone, as the tectonic plates move

My fellow astronauts Makoto and Rosemary had their first NBL run for EVA training 🤗👩‍🚀 To simulate a micro-gravity, astronauts wear spacesuits and train in a large pool using neutral buoyancy. It may look fun as they float, but working in a spacesuit is actually very demanding!
