Jeremy Hansen Steps Down from CSA | Vancouver News

After 17 years with the Canadian Space Agency and a historic ride around the moon on Artemis II, astronaut Jeremy Hansen is stepping down from his full-time role in September 2026 to pursue new professional opportunities — while staying connected as a Royal Canadian Air Force Reservist. With 32 years of military service, Hansen called the human experience of spaceflight — not the tech — the most rewarding part of his mission. His departure ends an era for the CSA, where he was a cornerstone since being selected in 2009, helping shape Canada’s space ambitions. The agency celebrates his legacy as an inspiration and a symbol of what’s possible through grit and vision, leaving behind three active astronauts to carry the torch.
