Jenni Gibbons speaks to students and staff of 3 Canadian Forces Flying Training School

Jenni addresses an audience.

From June 10 to 14, 2024, CSA astronaut Jenni Gibbons took part in helicopter training with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) at 3 Canadian Forces Flying Training School (CFFTS) in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. She also spoke to students and staff of 3 CFFTS, where she talked about her journey as an astronaut.

This collaboration will enable Jenni, the Canadian backup astronaut for Artemis II, to participate in advanced helicopter training with NASA as part of the Artemis program. This training is important for preparing astronauts for the complexities of lunar landings, offering significant crossover in the cognitive and physical skills required.
