Here I am participating in a @csa_asc experiment called HomeBase, where we use virtual reality to study the vestibular system when gravity is absent (it’s harder than it looks). More to follow from #space!

Successful launch of @UVic’s CubeSat MARMOTSat! 🚀

Built by students through the CUBICS initiative, this shoebox-sized satellite will study Earth’s ionosphere, a region of the upper atmosphere.

CSA astronaut Colonel Jeremy Hansen has helped shape a new chapter in Canadian space exploration. As he will embark on new professional opportunities this fall, we thank him for inspiring Canadians and strengthening Canada's place in the future of space.

[Jeremy R. Hansen @Astro_Jeremy]

Today, I am sharing a significant next step in my journey. This September, after 32 years of military service and 17 years as a Canadian Space Agency astronaut—culminating in the incredible privilege of flying around the Moon on Artemis II—I will be transitioning from my full-time role at the CSA.

This is far from a departure. My commitment to seeing Canada thrive remains absolute. To ensure continuity in this mission, the Royal Canadian Air Force is enabling my transition into a Reservist role. This unique position is a deliberate launchpad designed to leave the door open for creative, ongoing ways to support and enable the vital work happening in Canada with respect to space, and I’m excited for the new challenges it will bring.

Our future depends on a fierce continuation of Canadian innovation and exploration in space. The technological breakthroughs and economic benefits born from this sector are vital for our country and the world, and I am as determined as ever to push that work forward.

To the Canadian Armed Forces, the CSA, NASA, our international partners, and my family: thank you. And to all Canadians: thank you for believing in what our country can achieve when we aim high.

The mission continues. 🇨🇦

Data update: latest lunar imagery confirms that Canada's shooting range now extends past the upper atmosphere. 🛰️⚽

Sending energy to @CANMNT_Official for today’s match against Morocco!

Whole country (and orbit) is behind you! 🍁

Asteroids hold clues to the origins of our solar system.  ☄

During the OSIRIS-Rex mission, using Canadian instrument OLA, the spacecraft created a 3D map of Bennu's surface, allowing scientists to select a sample site.

The June full Moon, often called the “Strawberry Moon,” rises on June 29th. 🌕🍓

Why the name? The Moon won’t appear red or pink, but it can sometimes glow warmer and more golden when it’s low on the horizon.
