Born here in Chichester, Major Tim Peake completed his secondary education at Chichester High School for Boys in 1990. Following a successful career as a British Army Air Corps officer and test pilot, Tim was selected as an ESA astronaut in 2009, and completed Astronaut Basic Training in November 2010.
