0:24Now PlayingCanadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen announced Monday that he is stepping down from his full-time role as an astronaut, months after flying around the moon on NASA’s Artemis II mission.
Hansen, 50, said in an Instagram post that he will transition from his role at the Canadian Space Agency, but that the change is “far from a departure.” He described his new role as a “deliberate launchpad designed to leave the door open for creative, ongoing ways to support and enable the vital work happening in Canada with respect to space.”
He said he will also continue to serve as a reservist with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
