    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    “I was lucky enough to be growing up in the '90s watching Canada’s first female astronaut, Dr. Roberta Bondar, go to space,” Pandya told CBC’s Radio Active.

    Only two women from Canada have been to space previously, though Jenni Gibbons will join their ranks in the near future.

    The company reached a deal with NASA in 2020 to boost commercial human space flight.

    Inspired by Bondar’s historic journey as a neuroscientist, Pandya went on to become a physician, aquanaut and then bioastronautics researcher with the IIAS.

    The IIAS-02 Mission will likely be in a few years as spacecraft technology develops, according to IIAS executive director Jason Reimuller.

    “That generates periods of 20 seconds of free fall at a time, and you’re weightless, and you’re floating, and you can do some really good science.”
