Helen Sharman describes weightlessness
The rocket carrying Briton Tim Peake on his landmark flight to the International Space Station has launched from Kazakhstan.
The Soyuz space capsule is carrying Russian Yuri Malenchenko, American Tim Kopra and "Major Tim", who will spend six months on the station.
The former Army pilot is making history as the first official UK astronaut.
Helen Sharman became the first British citizen to travel to space when she visited the Soviet space station Mir in 1991.
