Astronaut Tim Peake has taken control of a robotic rover on Earth while in orbit on board the International Space Station, driving it across a test area designed to look like Mars.The former Army test pilot used a console on board the ISS to remotely drive a prototype Mars Rover, called Bridget, around a dark sand-covered yard in Stevenage, Hertfordshire.
The test was designed to mimic what it would be like to use a robotic rover to explore a dark cave on the red planet, but midway through the test engineers had to come to his rescue after he hit a rock.
