PUPILS at a Bradford school got to experience a virtual trip to back from the stars thanks to top of the range equipment.

A Samsung VR bus dropped by Carlton Bolling School to help pupils feel what it was like to descend to earth on Tim Peake’s Soyuz Capsule.

The actual capsule is touring the UK, first appearing at the National Science and Media Museum earlier this year.

The Samsung bus allowed students to experience the descent in virtual reality and explore the science of space on board the International Space Station and took part in the interactive and immersive 360° experience.

The aim of the workshop was to provide an interactive session to allow students to enhance their understanding on space physics, which forms a core part of their syllabus. This was enjoyed by many science enthusiasts and some even said the event had inspired them to pursue a career in space physics or become astronauts.

Kaiynaat Sakhi said: “This made me enjoy science even more and I am now considering a career the field of space.”
