Helen Sharman and Tim Peake with Road to Stars book
Helen Sharman and Tim Peake with Road to Stars book.
ÒRoad to the starsÓ is an autobiography by Yuri Gargarin, who was the first man to go into space when his Soviet capsule Vostok 1 completed one orbit of Earth on 12 April 1961.
The 296-page volume, first published in 1962 and signed by Gargarin himself, was given to Helen Sharman when she became the UKÕs first astronaut in 1991.
She was presented with the book during her training at Star City near Moscow Ð now called the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre Ð ahead of her flight to the Mir space station, which operated from 1986 to 2001.
Sharman took the book with her, adding her signature while in space. Her crewmates Ð Viktor Afanasyev, Anatoly Artsebarsky, Sergei Krikalev and Musa Manarov Ð also signed the tome.
Some 24 years later when Tim Peake was selected as an ESA astronaut, Sharman lent him the book.
He returned the volume to space aboard his Principia mission in 2015, adding his signature while on the International Space Station. It was also autographed by fellow crew members Scott Kelly, Tim Kopra, Mikhail Korniyenko, Yuri Malenchenko, Aleksei Ovchinin, Oleg Skripochka, Sergei Volkov and Jeffrey Williams.
The book has now gone on long-term display at the National Space Centre in Leicester.Credit: ESA / eyevine

World Pea Shooting Championships, Witcham, Cambridgeshire, Britain - 12 Jul 2009
NOVICE WINS PEASHOOTING TITLE
A complete novice has won the annual World Peashooting Championships after entering for fun.
Jim Collins, 34, came top in the quirky contest in the picturesque village of Witcham in Cambridgeshire after several hours of fierce blowing.
The dad, from nearby Hadenham, Cambs, had a surprise victory after using a conventional peashooter to beat local Ian Asmeade who used a specially adapted laser-guided shooter.
"It was definitely beginner's luck" said Jim.
"It was the first time I had tried the sport and taken part in the competition.
"I was very surprised to win, but extremely happy with the result."
Competitors from as far away as the USA and New Zealand battled it out in the unusual competition.
The contest has been staged on the village green since 1971 when it was first started to raise funds for a community hall.
As part of the contest competitors have to hit a target, which is fashioned out of putty, from a distance of 12 yards.
The pea used is very important, ideally it must have a diameter of no more than 5.5mm, otherwise it tends to get stuck, and it should have a smooth regular shape.
Due to this the common garden pea is unsuitable and the top competitors use dried maple seeds.
