A NASA astronaut trainer blasted off for Eureka to teach children about space travel.
Michelle Ham landed as part of the children's museum's astronomy-themes summer programme Blast Off!

Unfortunately her astronaut husband Ken, who was also due to visit, was called back to the US on an urgent NASA mission.

Mrs Ham has trained astronauts from Russia, Japan and Germany, and worked at NASA as a flight controller, technical writer and operations planner.
