Irish company makes Lottie is the first doll in space

Lottie, created by Donegal business Arklu, was on board the Orbital ATK Cygnus Cargo spacecraft which blasted off from Cape Canaveral nine days ago and arrived last week at the International Space Station.
The 19cm doll will be there to greet Tim Peake when he becomes the first ever British astronaut to visit the station today.
