Orbit Zone: School and Student Winners

We asked the Orbit Zone Astro Support Team to select a student, and the school whose live chat stood out for them; the school and student they thought asked the best questions, or engaged most.

In each round of the competition, students from the winning school, and the individual student winner will go on to take part in the final live chat with Tim Peake and the Astro Support Team winners in the summer.

So, for fantastic engagement, for posting brilliant questions and comments, the winners are…

School winner: Hillcroft Primary School

**Student winner: Soyuz Guru, St James CE Middle School**

Well done to everyone who took part. There were so many interesting questions, comments, and live chats but there could only be one student winner, and one winning school. Join us for the next round, Touchdown Zone, running 13th–24th June!

For the first time ever a British European Space Agency astronaut has lived and worked on the International Space Station. Tim Peake orbited the earth for half a year.

Four different zones (Training, Launch, Orbit and Touchdown) were run between October 2015 and June 2016 alongside different stages of Tim Peake’s mission. A final live chat (Debrief Zone), involving Tim and nominated schools, was held in November 2016.
