Lottie gets a view from space!
British ESA astronaut Tim Peake has tweeted a message from space about the Donegal Stargazer Lottie doll.
Stargazer Lottie is in the International Space Station with the British European Space Agency astronaut, in an effort to promote STEM and get children interested in astronomy and science.
Peake shared an image of Stargazer Lottie in space from his official social media accounts.
The Special Edition ‘Gold Collection’ ‘Stargazer’ Lottie doll is a collaboration with the European Space Agency, and is currently being exhibited at the BTHA London Toy Fair at the Olympia.
Astronaut Tim Peake
Stargazer Lottie traveled to the International Space Station along with British ESA astronaut Peake on the 15th of December 2015, having travelled ahead on board Orbital ATK’s “S.S. Deke Slayton II” Cygnus cargo spacecraft.
On the 24th of January 2016, Tim sent word from Lottie in space to his following, with a picture from the Cupola showing the Stargazer Lottie Doll, in the box gazing into outer-space.
Tweet text reads: ‘Stargazer @lottie_dolls designed by 6/yo Abigail cannot wait to get out of her box to look at the stars. #STEM’
