Astro Academy: Principia

From December 2015 until May 2016 the first British astronaut, Tim Peake, lived and worked on the International Space Station (ISS) as part of Expedition 46/47. His mission, called Principia, included work on a wide variety of education projects alongside his day-to-day work for ESA and in collaboration with other space agencies on the ISS. 

We designed and built a set of kit for a series of simple demonstrations that Tim conducted and filmed whilst on the ISS. They show fundamental aspects of physics and chemistry; comparing results in micro-gravity with those in classrooms on Earth for the project Astro Academy: Principia.
