Joshua Kutryk has become the fifth Canadian astronaut to carry out a spacewalk, according to LakelandToday.ca. The outlet reported the milestone on Thursday, 29 October 2026.
The report places Kutryk in a small group of Canadians who have performed a spacewalk. LakelandToday.ca did not provide further details in the summary available, including the date of the spacewalk, the mission it took place on, or how long Kutryk spent outside the spacecraft.
Canada has a long history of human spaceflight, and spacewalks have been part of that record for decades. Kutryk's completion of one adds his name to the short list of Canadians who have worked outside a spacecraft, per LakelandToday.ca.
What to watch next: further reporting from LakelandToday.ca and other outlets on the mission Kutryk was flying and the work he carried out during the spacewalk.
