Tim 頂点（に達する）'s greatest 業績／成就s: As the British 宇宙飛行士 発表するs his 退職, MailOnline looks 支援する on his 業績／成就s ? 含むing running the fastest マラソン in SPACE

TIM PEAKE BIO

'My years with ESA have been a fantastic 段階 of my life and I look 今後 to remaining part of the ESA family as an 外交官／大使.'

Here, MailOnline looks 支援する at his greatest 業績／成就s, from 存在 the first '公式の／役人' British spaceman to running the London マラソン in space.?

SIX MONTHS ON THE ISS

A former British Army 空気／公表する 軍団 ヘリコプター 操縦する, Major 頂点（に達する） was selected as a European Space 機関 (ESA) 宇宙飛行士 in May 2009.

He had been surprised to see an online 新採用するing 宣伝 from ESA, and underwent a rigorous year-long 宇宙飛行士 選択 with more than 8,000 other 希望に満ちた 候補者s.?

Years of training 含むd spending more than a week living in a 永久の underwater base in Florida, to get used to stressful 環境s and experience 'waterwalks' as practice for real spacewalks.

On May 20, 2013 it was 発表するd to the world that Major 頂点（に達する） would 旅行 to the International Space 駅／配置する (ISS), which then 総理大臣 David Cameron あられ／賞賛するd as a 'momentous day for Britain'.

頂点（に達する） finally 爆破d off に向かって the ISS on a Soyuz ロケット／急騰する on December 15, 2015 with crewmates Tim Kopra (航空宇宙局) and Yuri Malenchenko (Roscosmos).?

The ISS, 位置を示すd だいたい 250 miles above the Earth, in low-Earth 軌道, 供給するd him with exceptional 見解（をとる）s of our 惑星.?

On Twitter Tim 頂点（に達する） 地位，任命するd: 'I've always believed in moving 今後 and embracing new challenges even if you don’t know what’s 一連の会議、交渉／完成する the corner - it keeps things 利益／興味ing'?

Flight Engineer Tim 頂点（に達する） of ESA (European Space 機関), 事前の to 搭乗 the Soyuz TMA-19M ロケット／急騰する for 開始する，打ち上げる 探検隊／遠征隊 46 開始する，打ち上げる to the International Space 駅／配置する, Baikonur Cosmodrome, カザフ共和国, December 15, 2015

He entered the famous 軌道ing 駅／配置する と一緒に his fellow 乗組員 members almost nine hours after they 爆破d off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazahkstan.?

The heroic Briton then spent six months onboard the 駅／配置する, leaving behind his wife and two sons ? his 'toughest moment'.?

Major 頂点（に達する） would later 反映する on spending so much time away from loved ones, 説 in 2021 that?ビデオ calls with his family were '極端に important'.?

'The 環境 供給するd by space not only 奪うs 宇宙飛行士s of social interaction but also 具体的に表現するs the most serious challenges of human life in 孤立／分離,' he told fans in Cardiff during a speaking 小旅行する.

He said his greatest 恐れる in space was 'what if something happened in my family and I'm not there to support them'.?

頂点（に達する） returned to Earth on June 18, 2016, 船内に the 降下／家系 module of the Soyuz 宇宙船 that had 輸送（する）d him six months earlier.?

頂点（に達する）'s 使節団 to the ISS was 指名するd 'Principia', a 尊敬の印 to Isaac Newton's work of 1687 wherein he 始める，決める out the 法律s of 動議 and gravity.?

FIRST BRITISH SPACEMAN

When he 爆破d off to the ISS, 頂点（に達する） became the first 公式に British spaceman, although?he was not the first Briton in space.?

It was 支援する in 1991 when Sheffield-born 化学者／薬剤師 Helen Sharman not only became the first British spacewoman, but the first British person in space.?

見解（をとる） of the?Soyuz TMA-19M ロケット／急騰する carrying Tim 頂点（に達する）, 同様に as Yuri Malenchenko and Tim Kopra, to the ISS in December 2015

Before both?Sharman and 頂点（に達する） had been into space, other UK-born men had done so through 航空宇宙局's space programme, thanks to acquiring US 市民権.

But?Sharman and 頂点（に達する） are considered the first '公式の／役人' British people in space as they were both 代表するing their country of birth.?

Major 頂点（に達する） also became the?first 宇宙飛行士 基金d by the British 政府.?

FIRST BRITISH SPACEWALK?

During his time onboard the ISS, Major 頂点（に達する） became the first person to 完全にする a spacewalk while 冒険的な a Union 旗 on his shoulder.?

He had 補助装置d a spacewalk by two American 宇宙飛行士s, earlier during his ISS stint, on December 21, 2015, but this had been from inside the?駅／配置する.?

On January 15, 2016, 頂点（に達する） and 航空宇宙局 宇宙飛行士 Tim Kopra stepped outside of the ISS to 取って代わる a failed 力／強力にする regulator and 任命する／導入する cabling.?

It lasted four hours 43 minutes, shorter than planned 予定 to his American 同僚 報告（する）／憶測ing water building up in his helmet.?

They left the 限定するs of the ISS at 12:48 GMT after five hours of 準備s and ended up returning at 17:31 GMT.?

頂点（に達する） said he would never forget his 'exhilarating' first walk in space as he 地位，任命するd a cheeky space selfie of the historic feat, showing the camera 反映するd in his helmet.?

Tim 頂点（に達する） made history as the first British 宇宙飛行士 to 成し遂げる a spacewalk that saw him help to 取って代わる a 欠陥のある 力／強力にする 部隊 outside the International Space 駅／配置する. Major 頂点（に達する） joined Flight Engineer Kopra at the far-end of the International Space 駅／配置する to 取り組む the 修理. This photograph shows him laying out his 道具s and 準備するing to 修理 a 欠陥のある 力／強力にする 部隊

FASTEST MARATHON IN SPACE

One of his most memorable 業績／成就s while on the ISS was running the London マラソン, albeit with a 新たな展開.

頂点（に達する） ran the London マラソン's 26.2 miles on a treadmill on the space 駅／配置する in April 2016, at the very same time the race occurred on Earth.?

And he did it in 記録，記録的な／記録する time, at least for a spaceman.?

頂点（に達する）'s time of three hours, 35 minutes and 21 seconds was faster than US 宇宙飛行士 Sunita Williams, who did it on the ISS in four hours, 23 minutes and 10 seconds?in 2007 at the same time as the Boston マラソン.?

For his 記録，記録的な／記録する-breaking 成果／努力s, 頂点（に達する） was awarded a place in the?Guinness World 記録，記録的な／記録するs 調書をとる／予約する, for 'fastest マラソン in space'.?

The 実験（する） was designed to mimic what it would be like to use a robotic rover to 調査する a dark 洞穴 on the red 惑星, although 中途の through 実験（する） engineers had to come to his 救助（する） after he 攻撃する，衝突する a 激しく揺する.?

Major 頂点（に達する） used a bank of laptops on board the 駅／配置する to move the cameras on the rover before then 運動ing it 今後 into a mocked up 洞穴 環境.?

It was part of 実験（する）s 主要な up to the ExoMars 使節団 sent a rover to look for 調印するs of life on the red 惑星 ? （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） that could 潜在的に help 成果／努力s to put humans there.?

Later, while speaking at the UK Space 会議／協議会 in Newport in 2019, 頂点（に達する） said a human will land on 火星 within the next 50 years.?

'In the next 50 years we will be celebrating humans on 火星. I am やめる sure of that,' he said.?

'I would be 用心深い about 説 we will be celebrating humans on 火星 in the next 20 years.'?

While US 公式の／役人s were in Britain for 会談 in July last year, they hinted that there would be a 未来 宇宙飛行士 位置／汚点／見つけ出す on Artemis for one of its 'international partners'?? 潜在的に someone from the UK.?

This 誘発するd 憶測 that Major 頂点（に達する） might have an 適切な時期 to become the oldest 宇宙飛行士 to walk on the lunar surface, but it is now not to be.?

Major 頂点（に達する） has been doing 大使の work for space and science と一緒に ESA and the UK Space 機関 since 2019, but will now （問題を）取り上げる the 役割 十分な-time

It was only a couple of years ago he said he hoped to 乗る，着手する on a second 使節団 to space and become the first British person on the moon.?

He said in October 2020: 'My 指名する is still in the でっちあげる，人を罪に陥れる and I hope to have a second 使節団. We'll have to wait and see.'?

によれば ESA, 頂点（に達する） will continue to 焦点（を合わせる） on maximising the 可能性のある for young people to 追求する careers in STEM.
