LONGUEUIL, QC, July 29, 2026 /CNW/ -- On August 3rd, media representatives are invited to the Canadian Space Agency's (CSA) John H. Chapman Space Centre to attend the live broadcast of a technical briefing about NASA's Crew-13 mission featuring a panel of experts, followed by a news conference with the Crew-13 crewmembers, including CSA astronaut Colonel Joshua Kutryk.

Both events will take place at Johnson Space Center in Houston, but journalists at the CSA can ask questions in real time. After the conference, CSA experts will be available on site to give interviews. Please note that Joshua Kutryk will have limited media availability.

Upon arrival, media must show a piece of photo ID at the gate and then report to the reception desk.

Virtual participation
Media may also participate in the events virtually. Interested media should register with the CSA's Media Relations Office and will then receive a Teams link.

This will be the first space mission for Joshua Kutryk, making him the fourth CSA astronaut to go on a long-duration mission aboard the International Space Station and the first to go to space as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program. The launch is slated for no earlier than mid-September 2026. Joshua's crewmates are NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov.

Media who have questions or wish to interview a CSA expert are asked to contact the CSA's Media Relations Office.
