Canada's Hansen Heads on Artemis II, NASA's First Crewed Moon Mission in 54 Years

NASA's Artemis II mission launches from Kennedy Space Center with Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen aboard the Orion spacecraft on the Space Launch System, marking the first crewed Moon flight since 1972. Over about 10 days the crew will test essential life-support and onboard systems, perform a lunar fly-by on a free-return trajectory, and reinforce international collaboration under the Artemis Accords as groundwork for a lunar base and eventual Mars missions.

Hansen emphasized the importance of collaboration with NASA and highlighted the potential applications for remote environments on Earth. Canada's contribution to the Artemis program includes the Canadarm3 robotic arm and investments in space medicine, space food, and artificial intelligence.

Artemis 2 astronaut discovers rare crater in Saskatchewan

Artemis 2 astronaut Jeremy Hansen helped discover a rare transitional crater on Earth during a geology expedition in Saskatchewan in 2011. The crater, known as Gow Lake, is among the rarest seen on Earth and has analogies with some moon divots, most closely with one named after Italian philosopher Giordano Bruno. The discovery was made during a geology expedition with Western University in Ontario, which Hansen participated in to prepare for spaceflight. Hansen may see the lunar far-side crater with his own eyes when he cruises around the moon in late 2024 on the Artemis 2 mission.
