🌌 35 years ago Helen Sharman became the first Brit in space 🌌
In May 1991 Helen launched into orbit on a mission to the Mir Space Station, making history in the process. Today we collaborated with Piccadilly Lights in the heart of Piccadilly Circus, celebrating that out-of-this-world achievement with Helen herself.
You can see Helen’s real spacesuit from that historic mission in the Science Museum’s new Space gallery, which brings together remarkable objects to tell the story of space exploration. Best of all, it’s free to visit!
