Britain has only two astronauts in space before, Helen Sharman and Tim Peake
A new deal between the UK and a US space company means British astronauts could get the chance to blast into space. In a deal with Axiom Space, the UK Space Agency has signed an agreement to work on what will become the first-ever commercial space station. The flight, which will carry British astronauts, will spend two weeks in orbit to carry out scientific experiments and participate in educational activities.
It takes thousands of people to complete a crewed space mission and return the astronauts safely home, highlighting the huge variety of careers available in the UK space sector right now. 'There is much to do, and this agreement is the springboard for the UK Space Agency, Axiom Space and the mission sponsors to assess how we best push forward the frontiers of knowledge and innovation, and showcase the power of space to improve lives on Earth.
