Tim began his journey as a British Army Officer, commissioned from Sandhurst in 1992. He went on to serve as a helicopter pilot and later as an Apache test pilot, flying missions around the world and developing a skillset built on discipline, focus, and adaptability. Alongside his military service, he studied Flight Dynamics and Evaluation, showing early signs of the curiosity and technical excellence that would later define his space career. In 2009, Tim was selected from over 8,000 candidates to become a European Space Agency astronaut, making history as the first official Brit to live and work on the International Space Station.
In 2015, Tim launched into orbit aboard Soyuz TMA-19M, spending six months on the ISS during the celebrated Principia mission. There, he conducted over 250 scientific experiments, performed a spacewalk, and engaged millions through his pioneering educational outreach, including running the London Marathon from space. Since returning to Earth, Tim has written several bestselling books, including ‘Limitless’ and ‘Ask an Astronaut’, and continues to inspire through media work, school engagement, and keynote speaking. In 2024, he joined Axiom Space as Strategic Advisor, supporting the development of future UK-led missions.
