Nous avons hâte de travailler sous votre direction compétente pour progresser sur les éléments importants de cette session, notamment les travaux de suivi des 21 directives sur viabilité à long terme des activités spatiales ainsi que le programme « Espace 2030 » et de son plan de mise en œuvre. Ma délégation aimerait également exprimé sa gratitude à la directrice du bureau des affaires extra-atmosphériques des Nations Unies, Madame Simonetta Di Pippo ainsi qu’à son équipe entière pour leurs continuels efforts à supporter les états membres dans leur travail. Madame la présidente, distingués délégués, 2019 fut une autre année majeure pour le Canada dans l’espace, particulièrement dans les domaines des vols habités, de l’utilisation de l’espace et de l’exploration spatiale. On December 3, 2018, astronaut David Saint-Jacques launched on Canada’s third longest duration crew mission to the ISS alongside NASA astronaut Anne McClain and Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko. His six-month stay on the ISS included record-setting productivity in science. During his assignment on the ISS, Dr. Saint-Jacques performed critical robotics and operations tasks, including a spacewalk; conducted a series of Canadian and international science experiments; acted as crew medical officer; and shared his experience through numerous education and outreach events.

Readers should check the CBS News "Space Place" web site in the weeks before a launch to download the latest edition: http://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/current.html DATE RELEASE NOTES 05/28/08 Initial STS-124 release Introduction This document is an outgrowth of my original UPI Space Reporter's Handbook, prepared prior to STS-26 for United Press International and updated for several flights thereafter due to popular demand. The current version is prepared for CBS News. As with the original, the goal here is to provide useful information on U.S. and Russian space flights so reporters and producers will not be forced to rely on government or industry public affairs officers at times when it might be difficult to get timely responses. All of these data are available elsewhere, of course, but not necessarily in one place. The STS-124 version of the CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook was compiled from NASA news releases, JSC flight plans, the Shuttle Flight Data and In-Flight Anomaly List, NASA Public Affairs and the Flight Dynamics office (abort boundaries) at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
