Jessica Watkins was selected by NASA to join the 2017 Astronaut Candidate Class. Watkins reported for duty in August 2017 and completed two years of training as an astronaut candidate. The Colorado native earned a Bachelor of Science in geological and environmental sciences from Stanford University, and a Doctorate in geology from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Dr. Watkins conducted her graduate research on the emplacement mechanisms of large landslides on Mars and Earth. She has worked at NASA’s Ames Research Center and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and was a science team collaborator for NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity. Watkins served as a mission specialist on NASA’s SpaceX Crew-4 mission to the International Space Station, which concluded on Oct. 14, 2022. It was the first spaceflight for Watkins, and the first flight of the Crew Dragon “Freedom” spacecraft. During the mission, she spent 170 days in space maintaining the space station and contributing to science experiments that not only might improve life on Earth, but also allow researchers to learn more about the effects of long duration spaceflight on the human body.

SpaceX Crew-4

NASA astronauts Kjell Lindgren, Robert Hines, and Jessica Watkins along with ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti will conduct a planned 6-month mission to the International Space Station aboard the new Dragon capsule named Freedom.

Crew Dragon is the first privately built and operated orbital spacecraft capable of flying humans. As a reusable SpaceX capsule, it transports crew members to and from the International Space Station. It will also carry paying customers to the Station and low Earth orbit. While it typically accommodates a crew of four, this number can vary depending on the mission.

Luke Delaney was selected by NASA to join the 2021 Astronaut Candidate Class and reported for duty in January 2022. The Florida native holds degrees in mechanical and aerospace engineering. He is a distinguished naval aviator that participated in exercises throughout the Asia Pacific region and conducted combat missions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. As a test pilot, he executed numerous flights evaluating weapon system integrations, and served as a test pilot instructor. At the time of his selection as an Astronaut Candidate, Delaney worked as a Research Pilot at NASA’s Langley Research Center where he supported airborne science missions. Courtesy of NASA.

Joshua Kutryk is a Canadian astronaut and Royal Canadian Air Force colonel born on March 21, 1982, in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. He grew up on a cattle farm and built a career as a highly experienced fighter and test pilot, flying CF-18 aircraft and serving in NATO, UN, and NORAD operations, including deployments to Libya and Afghanistan. He holds multiple degrees in mechanical engineering, space studies, flight test engineering, and defence studies, and has over 4,000 flight hours on more than 40 aircraft types. Selected by the Canadian Space Agency in 2017, he completed astronaut training in 2020 and has since worked with NASA in Houston, including roles in the Commercial Crew Program and as a capsule communicator (CAPCOM) for the ISS and Starliner missions. In 2023, he was assigned to a long-duration International Space Station mission, where he is expected to become the first CSA astronaut to fly as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.
