OTTAWA — Astronaut Jeremy Hansen, who made a historic trip around the moon aboard NASA’s Artemis 2 mission in April, is leaving the Canadian Space Agency.
A statement released by the agency today says Hansen will pursue “new professional opportunities” as of September.
He will continue to serve as a reservist with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
The four-person Artemis II crew — commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover and mission specialists Hansen and Christina Koch — were the first human beings to go to the moon in more than 50 years.
