British astronaut Tim Peake is taking a different kind of driving test as he tests out controlling a Mars rover, which is in a hangar near London, from the International Space Station.

Peake will manoeuvre the rover, named Bridget, around in the Mars Yard, which mimics the conditions on the planet, and will help researchers understand more about future missions to Mars.

His goal is to find his own route through the cave and locate specific areas that have been marked with an X.
