/R E P E A T -- Media Advisory - Countdown to David Saint-Jacques' Mission Expedition 58/59 Crew Press Conference/
LONGUEUIL, QC, Aug. 31, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - Less than four months remain before Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques launches to space.
Media are invited to attend a press conference with David and his crewmembers. The press conference will be held at the Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston but media gathered at the Canadian Space Agency will be able to ask David questions live.
Astronaut Jeremy Hansen will be at the Canadian Spacy Agency to provide media the opportunity to try the Canadarm2 stimulator as Canadian robotics have become so critical in every mission.
Media members who are unable to come to the CSA can watch the press conference live on the CSA's YouTube channel.
IMPORTANT:
Following the live press conference, David will be available for telephone interviews. Availability is limited. Please contact the media relations team at [email protected] to reserve time.
