Shown on Aug. 26 with two new astronaut candidates representing both the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the Canadian Space Agency, and with a few other trainees, are the nine NASA astronaut candidates.

Fischer, Michael S. Hopkins, Kjell N. Lindgren, Kathleen (Kate) Rubins, Scott D. Tingle, Mark T. Vande Hei and Gregory R. (Reid) Wiseman. The CSA ASCANS are David Saint Jacques and Jeremy Hansen.
