As part of the Principia Mission Space Diary project - supporting Tim Peake's mission to the International Space Station - Britain's first astronaut, Helen Sharman, talks about communication in space. Not only do astronauts have to learn other languages for their training and communication in space, but they also have to understand how and when to communicate with earth. This video accompanies Chapter Two of the Principia Mission Space Diary. Sign up at principiaspacediary.org/sign-up to get exclusive access to the book, to download and complete at home or in the classroom. We also supply a Classroom Kit for teachers and educators with lots of resources, tips and information around the theme of a spacecraft launch.
