An evening with Helen Sharman CMG OBE

Britain’s first astronaut, Helen Sharman, CMG, OBE, will appear in a special event at Town Hall, Birmingham to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing and 60 years of NASA.

This is a very rare opportunity to see this British pioneer and role model speak publicly about space and the wonders of science.

Selected from 13,000 applicants Helen became the first British Astronaut when, in May 1991, she launched on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft and spent 8 days orbiting the Earth, living and working on the MIR Space Station.
