Recently Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint‑Jacques had an opportunity to speak with the students and staff of Kiluutaq School in the community of Umiujaq in northern Quebec where he used to practise medicine.

Yesterday former astronaut Dr. Dave Williams and Shagun Maheshwari of The Knowledge Society spoke with David Saint-Jacques onboard the International Space Station on AI for health on Earth and Space at the C2 Conference in Montreal.

This week over 700 students, teachers and members of East Three School (elementary and secondary) in Inuvik, Northwest Territories participated in a live event with astronaut David Saint-Jacques onboard the International Space Station after winning the Bring Space to Your School contest.

This past Monday David Saint-Jacques added another accomplishment to his resume while on-orbit for his six month stay on the International Space Station (ISS) by performing a “cosmic catch”.

Canada’s robotic suite of tools on the International Space Station (ISS) lead by Dextre removed a failed power switch earlier this morning restoring full power to the US portion of the ISS.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) held a contest for students for the Exploring Earth activity. The winning school was Stonepark Intermediate School of Prince Edward Island. Their prize? An interactive session to mark Earth Day with astronaut David Saint-Jacques who is on the International Space Station.

Two days after completing his first spacewalk David Saint-Jacques answered questions from the media about his experience.

What has the International Space Station (ISS) contributed to humanity since its inception? That’s the question that gets answered in a new book published by NASA.

After having already spent spent four months in space, David Saint-Jacques found it hard to express his feelings on his first spacewalk saying, “What a view. Words are missing.”

At approximately 8:05 a.m. EDT April 8 David Saint-Jacques will enter the International Space Station Quest airlock and shortly thereafter begin his first spacewalk, something he’s wanted to do since he first dreamed of going into space.
