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.

David Saint-Jacques will put years of training for a spacewalk to work on Monday April 8 as he and fellow Expedition 59 astronaut Anne McClain will exit the space stations Quest airlock around 8:05 a.m EDT to begin an approximate 7 hour spacewalk.

NASA announced yesterday that Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques will participate in his first spacewalk currently scheduled for April 8.

Astronaut David-Saint Jacques was asked by Mi’kmaw artist Shanna Francis why he included Indigenous people and culture on his mission. The answer is worth hearing and goes to the heart of who David Saint-Jacques is.

On March 5, the International Space Station (ISS) Multilateral Coordination Board (MCB) met and affirmed their support for the U.S. led Lunar Gateway program.

A new spacecraft has docked with the Space Station, the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule on its maiden voyage, a precursor to astronauts using the spacecraft.
