Astronaut Jeremy Hansen is leaving the Canadian Space Agency, according to a statement from the agency. Hansen, who flew on NASA’s Artemis II mission and took part in a historic April trip around the Moon, will transition to “new professional opportunities” starting in September. Multiple outlets report the change is set to take effect this fall, with the agency citing his move to pursue other career opportunities. While he exits his role at the Canadian Space Agency, reporting indicates he will continue serving as a reservist with the Royal Canadian Air Force. The available coverage does not describe a new position or assignment he will take on after leaving the agency. The reports broadly agree that his departure follows his participation in Artemis II, a human-crewed lunar flyby mission under NASA’s Artemis program. The Canadian Space Agency statement frames the step as a professional transition rather than a mission-related decision, and the coverage focuses on the timeline for his departure and his continued reservist service.
