Canadian astronaut ready for NASA mission to International Space Station
HOUSTON — Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk says he's been dreaming of going to space for a long time — and assuming everything goes to plan, he could fulfil that goal next week.
Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk is preparing for NASA’s SpaceX Crew 13 mission to the International Space Station, with a launch scheduled for next Thursday from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center. The 44-year-old astronaut, who has long dreamed of space travel, will spend six months conducting experiments, research, and maintenance work aboard the ISS.
Kutryk is currently in quarantine in Houston but will join the four-member crew in Florida. He expressed pride in representing Canada and plans to bring Canadian flags and a pocket watch passed down through his family, who homesteaded in Alberta four generations ago and emigrated from Ukraine.
