Joshua Kutryk

Joshua Kutryk (born March 21, 1982) is a Canadian astronaut, test pilot, fighter pilot and engineer. He was selected by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) as one of the two members of the 2017 CSA Astronaut Group, along with Jenni Gibbons. They both graduated from NASA's astronaut training program in 2020 and were assigned flights in 2023. Kutryk was originally set to fly on the first operational commercial flight of the Boeing CST-100 Starliner. Because of continued issues and delays with that spacecraft, NASA arranged for him to be a member of the SpaceX Crew-13 mission. It launched and docked to the International Space Station (ISS) on October 1, 2026. He is now part of the Expedition 75/76 crew on the ISS. Kutryk will likely be the last Canadian astronaut to fly a long-duration mission aboard the ISS as it will be decommissioned around 2030.
