The 51-year-old has come out of retirement to help with the UK's first manned mission to space.

Tim last flew to the International Space Station (ISS) as a European Space Agency astronaut in 2015.

The mission will send four British astronauts to space. The UK Space Agency has partnered with Axiom, an American company that organises visits to the ISS. The project is expected to cost £200m.
