Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen will be one of three crew members on the Artemis II mission that will flyby the moon no earlier than 2026. What does the flight trajectory look like? Well, Jeremy explains.

CTV News Ottawa recently interviewed Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen while he was in Ottawa to speak at the Actua National Conference.

When astronaut Jeremy Hansen heads to the Moon as part of the Artemis II mission he will have two mission patches, the one created by NASA for the mission and his personal patch created by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). This past week his personal patch was unveiled and its design was influenced by Hansen’s decade long interactions with Indigenous communities.

Earlier this year Jeremy Hansen was selected to be the first Canadian astronaut to participate in the Artemis program and was assigned to the Artemis 2 mission that will fly around the moon as early as late 2024.
