It's exactly a month today since Major Tim Peake blasted off from earth, and arrived at the International Space Station.

Today, he'll be taking part in his first space walk - where he'll be repairing a power unit on the outside. To celebrate the occasion, the National Space Centre in Leicester will be holding a series of events to coincide with the 大象传媒's stargazing live programme! 大象传媒 Radio Leicester's, Helen McCarthy, went to find out more and we also spoke to Space Expert, Dr David Whitehouse.
