British astronaut is on his way back to the earth after six months on International Space Station.
British astronaut Tim Peake and his two crew mates have transferred from the International Space Station to the Soyuz TMA-19M spacecraft that will return them to Earth and closed the hatch, marking the official end of their mission.
A grinning Major Peake shook hands with his colleagues before passing through the circular hatch.
The capsule is due to land in Kazakhstan on Saturday at 10.15am BST.
