Canada's Kutryk Heading to the ISS on SpaceX Crew-13 in 2026

Canadian Space Agency astronaut Josh Kutryk is slated to fly to the International Space Station on SpaceX Crew-13 no earlier than September 2026, spending about six months aboard Expedition 75/76. This will mark the CSA’s first ISS rotation in eight years after the Boeing Starliner mishap led to reassignment of Starliner-1 crews. The crew also includes NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney and Roscosmos’ Sergey Teteryatnikov. Kutryk, a Royal Canadian Air Force colonel and veteran test pilot, will conduct Canadian-led experiments and maintenance on the station, continuing Canada’s Artemis-era involvement and Canadarm3 initiatives.
