After a one-year selection process, we have just been recruited as the Canadian Space Agency’s two new astronauts!

I am LCol Joshua Kutryk. I was an experimental test pilot and fighter pilot for the Canadian Armed Forces in Cold Lake, Alberta.

I am Dr. Jennifer Sidey. I was a lecturer and researcher at the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge in the UK.

We will be answering your questions for about an hour starting at 3:00 p.m. EDT. Ask us anything!

N’hésitez pas à poser vos questions en français.

Thank you for all your questions! Merci pour vos questions!

Our next step is relocating to Houston, Texas, for NASA’s two-year astronaut basic training program as members of the 2017 NASA astronaut class.

You can follow us on social media and on the CSA website to stay up to date with our training.
