Longueuil (Quebec), September 25, 2024 — In the last few days, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk participated in NASA’s SEATEST 7 mission simulation, which took place on a mock-up of a lunar base about nine meters deep off Catalina Island in California.

Assigned to a six-month mission at the International Space Station scheduled for 2025 at the earliest, Joshua Kutryk continues his training and contributes to the effort of Canadian astronauts for the advancement of space missions and the program Artemis.

Humanity’s goal is to settle on the Moon. In view of this goal, astronauts tested a series of scenarios during the SEATEST 7 expedition, where some of the conditions and challenges specific to permanent lunar missions were recreated to plan future logistical operations on the Moon.
