Canadian Space Agency Astronaut Jeremy Hansen is making his first flight to space as a mission specialist on the Artemis II mission. He was one of two recruits selected by CSA in May 2009 through the third Canadian Astronaut Recruitment Campaign and has served in many roles supporting human spaceflight. Hansen has served as Capcom in NASA's Mission Control Center at the Johnson Space Center and in 2017, became the first Canadian to be entrusted with leading a NASA astronaut class, leading the training of astronaut candidates from the United States and Canada. This image was modified to include CSA’s insignia on the center front of Hansen’s spacesuit. The insignia was not available at the time of the photo. It will be on Hansen’s suit for Artemis II.
Photo Date: 2021-12-06 NASA announced its 2021 astronaut candidate class on Dec. 6, 2021. The 10 candidates, pictured here in an event at Ellington Field near NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston are Nichole Ayers, Christopher Williams, Luke Delaney, Jessica Wittner, Anil Menon, Marcos BerrÃos, Jack Hathaway, Christina Birch, Deniz Burnham, and Andre Douglas. NASA’s new astronaut candidates will begin about two years of training in January 2022, after which they could be assigned to missions performing research on the International Space Station, launching from American soil on spacecraft built by commercial companies, and launching on Artemis missions to the Moon on NASA’s new Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System rocket.
