By the end of this lesson the cadet shall have identified Canadian astronauts.

It is important for cadets to identify Canadian astronauts so that they can become familiar with the Canadian space program. The hard work that astronauts perform will illustrate the Air Force motto: Per Ardua ad Astra, as well as the rewards that can be achieved by men and women who accept the challenge of the stars.

The cadets’ participation in the interactive lecture will serve as the confirmation of this TP.

Space missions have a short history and a vast future. Cadets can stay current with the space program by frequently visiting websites of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and other organizations such as the European Space Agency (ESA).

The instructor shall obtain the latest biographical information for this EO. This material must be updated each year to reflect the Canadian Space Agency’s recent activities.

A list shall be kept of astronauts that cadets have focused on to prevent repetition.
