2:14Now PlayingOn 15 December, Tim Peake will launch into space to become Britain's first astronaut on board the International Space Station.
He’ll be carrying out lots of experiments, many of them on his own body – it’s essential to monitor the impact of space travel before attempting longer journeys, perhaps to Mars.

Kevin Fong is presenting this year's Royal Institution Christmas Lectures: How To Survive In Space. The first lecture, Lift Off!, is broadcast on BBC Four on Monday 28 December at 20.00.
