ASTRONAUT
Dr Helen Sharman CMG OBE is Britain's first ever astronaut. Flying to the space station Mir in 1991, she was selected from a large range of applicants to take part in the JUNO mission to the Russian space station where she spent a week performing science experiments, working on the crew rotation and fulfilling mission requirements before returning to earth on a Soyuz, landing in Kazakhstan.
Dr Helen Sharman now works as an ambassador and science communicator for Imperial College London. She originally studied chemistry at university and worked for Mars chocolatier as a research scientist. Her space suit is now on display in the British Museum, and she played key roles in supporting and advocating for Tim Peake. She has continued her passion of space advocacy ever since the JUNO mission and serves as President of the Institute of Science and Technology.
Among her honours, she has been awarded various accolades in Britain and Russia. She is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, an FBIS, has been awarded 10 honorary doctorates, and has many schools across the world names after her. Her biography Seize the Moment was released in 1993 and she has also written The Space Place for children.
