How an astronaut adapts to life aboard the International Space Station
In short: Just three days after arriving at the International Space Station, ESA astronaut Tim Peake held his first media briefing from orbit. This video captures his early reflections on weightlessness, the station's unique environment, and the realities of his six-month mission.
Broadcast live from the International Space Station and ESA's German astronaut facility in Cologne, this session offers a unique look at Tim Peake's initial week in orbit. Peake discusses the logistical workload of an astronaut, the sensory experience of the station—including its specific smell—and the practicalities of daily tasks like drinking tea while adapting to a weightless environment.
