'''Chris Austin Hadfield''' (born August 29, 1959) is a Canadian retired [[astronaut]], engineer, [[fighter pilot]], musician, and writer. As the first Canadian to perform [[extravehicular activity]] in [[outer space]], he has flown two [[Space Shuttle]] missions and also served as commander of the [[International Space Station]] (ISS). Prior to his career as an astronaut, he served in the [[Canadian Armed Forces]] for 25 years as an [[Royal Canadian Air Force|Air Command]] fighter pilot.

Hadfield has cited part of his career inspiration to have come to him as a child, when he watched the first [[Moon landing#Crewed landings|crewed Moon landing]] by American spaceflight [[Apollo 11]] on television. He attended high school in [[Oakville, Ontario|Oakville]] and [[Milton, Ontario|Milton]] in [[southern Ontario]], and earned his [[Glider pilot license|glider pilot licence]] as a member of the [[Royal Canadian Air Cadets]]. After enlisting in the Canadian Armed Forces, he earned an engineering degree at the [[Royal Military College of Canada|Royal Military College]] in [[Kingston, Ontario]]. Hadfield learned to fly various types of aircraft in the military and eventually became a [[test pilot]], flying several experimental planes. As part of an exchange program with the [[United States Navy]] and [[United States Air Force]], he obtained a master's degree in aviation systems at the [[University of Tennessee Space Institute]].

In 1992, Hadfield was accepted into the [[Canadian Astronaut Corps#Selection groups|Canadian astronaut program]] by the [[Canadian Space Agency]]. He first flew in space in November 1995 as a mission specialist aboard {{nowrap|[[STS-74]]}}, visiting the Russian space station ''[[Mir]]''. He flew again in April 2001 on {{nowrap|[[STS-100]]}}, when he visited the ISS and walked in space to help install [[Canadarm2]]. In December 2012, he flew for a third time aboard [[Soyuz TMA-07M]] to join [[Expedition 34]] on the ISS. When Expedition 34 ended in March 2013, Hadfield became the commander of the ISS as part of [[Expedition 35]], responsible for a crew of five astronauts and helping to run dozens of scientific experiments dealing with the impact of low gravity on human biology. During this mission, he chronicled life onboard the space station by taking pictures of [[Earth]] and posting them on various social media platforms. He was a guest on television news and talk shows and gained popularity by playing the ISS's guitar in space. Hadfield returned to Earth in May 2013, when the mission ended. He announced his retirement shortly after returning, capping a 35-year-long career as a military pilot and astronaut. He has five published books including his autobiography, the NYT-bestseller ''An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth''.

== Astronaut career ==
[[File:Chris Hadfield at AAAS meeting 1.JPG|thumb|upright|Chris Hadfield in 2012]]
Hadfield was selected to become one of four new Canadian astronauts from a field of 5,330 applicants in June 1992. Three of those four ([[Dafydd Williams]], [[Julie Payette]] and Hadfield) have flown in space. The fourth candidate, [[Michael McKay (astronaut)|Michael McKay]], resigned as an astronaut in 1995.<ref>{{cite web|title=Biography of Michael McKay|url=https://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronauts/canadian/former/bio-michael-mckay.asp|date=January 28, 2015|website=www.asc-csa.gc.ca}}</ref> Hadfield was assigned by the CSA to the [[NASA]] [[Johnson Space Center]] in [[Houston]], Texas in August, where he addressed technical and safety issues for Shuttle Operations Development, contributed to the development of the [[Glass cockpit|glass shuttle cockpit]], and supported shuttle launches at the [[Kennedy Space Center]], in Florida. In addition, Hadfield was NASA's chief [[Capsule communicator|CAPCOM]] (capsule communicator'')'', the voice of mission control to astronauts in orbit, for 25 [[Space Shuttle]] missions. From 1996 to 2000, he represented CSA astronauts and coordinated their activities as the chief astronaut for the CSA.<ref name="csabio" />

Hadfield is enthusiastic about the prospects for a crewed mission to Mars, and when asked in 2011 if he would consider being the first to visit even if the journey to Mars were one-way, he said "I would be honoured to be given the opportunity."<ref>{{cite web |title=I am an astronaut who has been to space twice... |date=April 9, 2011 |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/gm8rh/iaman_astronaut_who_has_been_to_space_twice_and |access-date=August 30, 2011 |publisher=Reddit}}</ref>

=== STS-74 ===
{{Main|STS-74}}
Hadfield served as mission specialist 1 on STS-74 in November 1995. It was NASA's second space shuttle mission to rendezvous and dock with the Russian Space Station ''[[Mir]]''. During the flight, the crew of [[Space Shuttle Atlantis|Space Shuttle ''Atlantis'']] attached a five-tonne docking module to ''Mir'' and transferred over 1,000&nbsp;kg of food, water, and scientific supplies to the cosmonauts. Hadfield flew as the first Canadian to operate the [[Canadarm]] in orbit, and the only Canadian ever to board ''Mir''.<ref name="csabio" />

=== STS-100 ===
{{Main|STS-100}}
[[File:STS 100 Hadfield EVA.jpg|thumb|upright|Hadfield spacewalking during the [[STS-100]] mission]]
In April 2001, Hadfield served as mission specialist 1 on STS-100, International Space Station (ISS) assembly Flight 6A. The crew of [[Space Shuttle Endeavour|Space Shuttle ''Endeavour'']] delivered and installed [[Canadarm2]], the new Canadian-built robotic arm, as well as the Italian-made resupply module ''Raffaello''. During the 11-day flight, Hadfield performed two spacewalks, which made him the first Canadian to ever leave a spacecraft and float freely in space. During his first spacewalk Hadfield experienced severe eye irritation due to the anti-fog solution used to polish his spacesuit visor, temporarily blinding him and forcing him to vent oxygen into space. In total, Hadfield spent 14 hours, 50 minutes outside, travelling 10 times around the world during his spacewalk.<ref name="csabio" /><ref name="Hadfield 6">''An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth'' (Hadfield), pp. 86–96.</ref>
