CSA Disbands Astronaut Office

Email from CSA President and CEO Boisvert Regarding Canadian Space Agency’s Organization, CSA

“Effective July 7th, the Canadian Astronaut Office is being disbanded. Steve MacLean, as Chief Astronaut for the next year, will coordinate the activities of the Canadian Astronaut Corps and will report directly to Benoit Marcotte, Director General of Operations and Assets. This change will better integrate astronaut programs and activities with other space operations such as the International Space Station.”
