ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen will fly to the Moon on the Artemis II mission, the first crewed flight test of the Orion spacecraft launching on the SLS rocket. He will become the first Canadian to ever venture to the Moon.
Jeremy was raised on a farm near Ailsa Craig, Ontario, until moving to Ingersoll for his high school years. He has been passionate about aerospace from an early age and credits the Royal Canadian Air Cadet Program with helping him achieve his goals. His time in the cadets, from the ages of 12 to 18, prepared him to enroll in the Royal Canadian Air Force, where he became a CF-18 fighter pilot in several squadrons. Colonel Hansen was selected as an astronaut candidate in May 2009. Since 2011, he has been a full-fledged astronaut and has represented the Canadian Space Agency at NASA. In 2017, he became the first Canadian to be entrusted with leading a NASA astronaut class, which means that he was in charge of training astronaut candidates from the United States and Canada.
