Tim Peake

For the final flight of #Spitfire90 we were joined by @astro_timpeake who flew on board the Dakota to Southampton. Tim judged the competition run by the @telegraph to win a flight in ‘K5054’ as she returns back to the home of @spitfiresdotcom later today! #Spitfire #Dakota

Really excited to kick off the BBC’s space podcast ‘13 Minutes Presents: Artemis ll’ with myself, Maggie Aderin and @KristinFisher . This is a daily podcast bringing you all the news on the Artemis ll mission as it happens. First episode is out today on @bbcsounds. bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/w… #artemis #launch #moon #astronauts #podcast

We’re delighted to welcome @astro_timpeake, SMI Ambassador and British astronaut, following his participation in the 'Astra Carta: Aligning Earth & Space.' plenary session at #SMISummit2026. #TheSMI

@projecthailmary @andyweirauthor @AmazonMGMStudio Happily!

@astro_timpeake @andyweirauthor @AmazonMGMStudio Come for the science, stay for the friendship.

I loved the book ‘Project Hail Mary’ by @andyweirauthor and was excited to finally see the movie version. There is a lot to love about it. Dr Ryland Grace is a passionate, maverick science teacher (and very reluctant astronaut) sent to space to save Earth. In the process he finds friendship in the most unlikely of circumstances and the movie is packed with all the usual brilliant science that Andy is known for (The Martian). Who knew we could be moved to tears of laughter and sadness by an unlikely partnership between a rock-like alien and a human, but Ryan Gosling and the incredible creation that is ‘Rocky’, voiced and pupeteered by Justin Ortiz, did just that. It’s rare to watch a movie and want to say ‘go and watch this at the cinema’ but this is definitely one of them 🚀🪨🌍👩‍🚀. #projecthailmary @AmazonMGMStudio @SonyPicturesUK

@bucksscouts @DwayneFields @lspraggan @LLBucks WOW! Good luck everyone, that is a very impressive challenge.

@BBCBreakfast Happy Birthday Sir.

Happy Birthday Colin Bell aged 105. The former RAF pilot who regularly flew a mosquito bomber during World War Two began his special day with a surprise on #BBCBreakfast bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@GazTheJourno @RAeSTimR Thank you for all your support today Gareth! What a beautiful flight :)

That little blue smudge in the background is a Spitfire painted as K5054, the original prototype. I took this picture earlier this afternoon, as @astro_timpeake taxied out to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Spitfire's very first flight on this day in 1936.

What a privilege to fly this special aircraft this afternoon. Many thanks to Matt Jones and the team at @spitfiresdotcom for inviting me to join you today.

💫 New tour dates and venues In a year when so much is happening in space, I’m excited to be taking my live show ‘Astronauts: The Quest to Explore Space’ back on the road again this September. Check out the link for new dates and venues. Tickets on sale today 🚀 nothird.co.uk/live-shows/tim…

What a fantastic day @sciencemuseum answering lots of your questions in the new Space Gallery, dropping into the Live Lessons and the Wonderlab, seeing your great work coding with @Raspberry_Pi AstroPi and catching up with the @airbus_space rover team. It was a great way to get warmed up ready for Monday’s live lesson. Join me virtually from 10.20 am tomorrow. sciencemuseum.org.uk/groups/tim-pea…

@mrsdenyer @vernonkay @BBC @sciencemuseum @Crochet_Tim @LibbyJackson__ We’ll be there!

@astro_timpeake @vernonkay @BBC @sciencemuseum @Crochet_Tim and I will be at the @sciencemuseum on Sunday if @LibbyJackson__ and “friends” are around.

Thanks to @alexjonesthomson and @vernonkay for having me on the @BBC One Show yesterday. Ten years ago I visited the UK for the final time before launch (I was based in Houston at the time) and sat chatting to Alex before heading out to Star City. This time around I’m firmly based in the UK and excited to be sharing a virtual live lesson from the @sciencemuseum on Monday 15th December. To join in see the link below and share with someone (schools, teachers, home educators, individuals) who would love to join in 🚀👨‍🚀 #astronaut #space #stemeducationforkids sciencemuseum.org.uk/groups/tim-pea…

A very special night at Boxgrove Priory in West Sussex raising money for @depaul_uk and @womenfight4ua. Beautiful vocal performance by @kvitka_openkids accompanied by the University of Chichester orchestra and Arun Choral Society. #carolservice #ukraine #Christmas2025

Thank you @artistoftheyear for a truly unique experience and huge thank you to the very talented Silas Archibong, El Barrett and Fiona Land who patiently worked away at my craggy visage for hours. I was full of admiration for them, creating portraits under so much time pressure with a live audience and cameras watching every brush and pencil stroke. Which one do you think I chose? You’ll have to watch tonight’s Portrait Artist of the Year on @SkyArts at 8pm to find out …..

@ChilliFowler @forduk @Ford @TheSohoAgencyUK That’s a whole different show!

@astro_timpeake @forduk @Ford @TheSohoAgencyUK If only you were allowed to talk about ufos...

For the past seven weeks, I’ve taken ‘Astronauts; The Quest to Explore Space’ across the country from Inverness to Weymouth, Peterborough to Llandudno. Thank you to all the fantastic audiences who’ve joined me and a huge thanks to @forduk for supporting us with the perfect tour vehicle. #astronauts #space #exploration #ford #stem
