Tim Peake's Spacecraft
The Soyuz capsule, which transported British astronaut Tim Peake safely back to Earth
Thursday 14 February 2019
The Soyuz capsule, which transported British astronaut Tim Peake safely back to Earth after his mission on the International Space Station will land at the Ulster Transport Museum on 20 February.
The Soyuz has been travelling across the UK as part of a national tour presented by global technology company Samsung and the Science Museum Group. Visitors will have the opportunity to:
- Get up close to the capsule and see the full-equipped interior, as well as the char marks on the exterior which show the result of the impact of the Earth's atmosphere on the spacecraft during its descent from space.
- See Tim Peake's Sokol KV-2 emergency spacesuit
- Enjoy interactive displays about the International Space Station (ISS) and learn about life in space.
Alongside the exhibition, visitors will be able to re-live the descent from space from the eyes of an astronaut through a unique virtual reality experience.
Using the latest Samsung Gear VR technology, it enables visitors to experience what it feels like to sit inside the Soyuz’s descent module as it makes its dangerous high-speed journey back to Earth.
