Astronaut from Alberta set to go to space after another was part of Artemis II

An Albertan will be the next Canadian in space.

The Canadian Space Agency says in a social media post that Joshua Kutryk has been assigned to the Crew-13 mission that will go to the International Space Station.

The agency says the flight will not launch before September of this year.

The post also says that Kutryk will “spend months living and working on the Space Station, conducting science studies and testing technologies.”
