Tim Peaks Space Craft at the National Medium Museum in Bradford (UK)
For the school holidays a special display is on at the National Media Museum, this is the actual space craft that took Tim Peaks into space - and safely brought him all the way back down to earth. Amazingly it has a 25m parachute - which truly is massive when you see it in person.
Soyuz TMA-19M carried Peake and crewmates Yuri Malenchenko and Tim Kopra in ESA Expedition 46/47 to the ISS on 15 December 2015, returning on 18 June 2016. It was acquired last year by the Science Museum Group.
It's fascinating walking around something that has actually been to outer space - and made it back to earth again!
You are not allowed to get inside it, or even touch it - but you can see inside through some of the view ports.
Looking down on the capsule from the upper floors is even more amazing.
And on the 4th floor you can see where the parachute connects to the roof.
And while we were looking around the rest of the museum we found a Dalek - along with Georgie still looking for his balloon 0_o
