Personal life
Hadfield was born in Sarnia, Ontario. His parents are Roger and Eleanor Hadfield, who live in Milton,
Ontario. Hadfield was raised on a corn farm in southern Ontario and became interested in flying at a young
age and in being an astronaut at age nine when he saw the Apollo 11 Moon landing on television.[1][2] He is
married to his high-school girlfriend Helene, and they have three adult children: Kyle, Evan and Kristin
Hadfield.[3] Hadfield used to be a ski instructor at Glen Eden Ski Area before becoming a test pilot.[4]
Hadfield is of northern English and southern Scottish descent.[5] He is a devoted fan of the Toronto Maple
Leafs and wore a Leafs jersey under his spacesuit during his Soyuz TMA-07M reentry in May 2013.[6] After
the 2012 NHL Lockout ended, Chris tweeted a photo of himself holding a Maple Leafs logo, and stated he
was "ready to cheer [his team] on from orbit".[7] He also sang the Canadian National Anthem during the
Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens game on 18 January 2014.
Education and military career

Hadfield attended White Oaks Secondary School in Oakville, Ontario until his senior year and then
graduated as an Ontario Scholar from Milton District High School in 1977. As a member of the Royal
Canadian Air Cadets, he earned a glider pilot scholarship at age 15 and a powered pilot scholarship at age
16. After graduating from high school in 1978, he joined the Canadian Armed Forces and spent two years at
Royal Roads Military College followed by two years at the Royal Military College, where he received a
bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in 1982.[1] Before graduating, he also underwent basic flight
training at CFB Portage la Prairie. In 1983, he took honours as the top graduate from Basic Jet Training at
CFB Moose Jaw, and then went on to train as a tactical fighter pilot with 410 Tactical Fighter Operational
14.4.2015 20:44
3 od 10
Training Squadron at CFB Cold Lake, flying the Canadair CF-116 Freedom Fighter and the McDonnell
Douglas CF-18 Hornet. After completing his fighter training, Hadfield flew CF-18 Hornets with 425 Tactical
Fighter Squadron, flying intercept missions for NORAD. He was the first CF-18 pilot to intercept a Soviet
Tupolev Tu 95 long-range bomber in the Canadian Arctic.[8]
In the late 1980s, Hadfield attended the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base and
served as an exchange officer with the U.S. Navy at Strike Test Directorate at the Patuxent River Naval Air
Station. His accomplishments from 1989 to 1992 included testing the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet
and LTV A-7 Corsair II aircraft; performing research work with NASA on pitch control margin simulation
and flight; completing the first military flight of F/A-18 enhanced performance engines; piloting the first
flight test of the National Aerospace Plane external burning hydrogen propulsion engine; developing a new
handling qualities rating scale for high angle-of-attack test; and participating in the F/A-18 out-of-control
recovery test program.
In May 1992, Hadfield graduated with a master's degree in aviation systems from the University of
Tennessee Space Institute, where his thesis concerned high-angle attack aerodynamics of the F/A-18 Hornet
fighter jet.[9] In total, Hadfield has flown over 70 different types of aircraft.
NASA experience
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. He was assigned by the
Canadian Space Agency (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 shuttle
cockpit, and supported shuttle launches at the Kennedy Space Center, in Florida.
In addition, Hadfield was NASA's Chief CAPCOM, 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.[8]
He was the Director of Operations for NASA at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonauts Training Center (GCTC) in
Star City, Russia from 2001 until 2003. Some of his duties included coordination and direction of all
International Space Station crew activities in Russia, oversight of training and crew support staff, as well as
policy negotiation with the Russian Space Program and other International Partners. He also trained and
became fully qualified to be a flight engineer cosmonaut in the Soyuz TMA spacecraft, and to perform
spacewalks in the Russian Orlan spacesuit.
Hadfield is a civilian ISI astronaut, having retired as a colonel from the Canadian Armed Forces in 2003
after 25 years of military service. He was Chief of Robotics for the NASA Astronaut Office at the Johnson
Space Center in Houston, Texas from 20032006 and was Chief of International Space Station Operations
from 20062008. In 2008 and 2009, he trained as a back-up to Robert Thirsk on the Expedition 21
mission.[10] In May 2010, Hadfield served as the commander of the NEEMO 14 mission aboard the Aquarius
underwater laboratory, living and working underwater for fourteen days.[11][12] NASA announced in 2010
that Hadfield would become the first Canadian commander of the International Space Station, leading
Expedition 35 after its launch on 19 December 2012.[13] His craft docked with the station on 21 December.
He remained on the station for five months, transferring control to Pavel Vinogradov and departing on 13
May 2013.[14]
In June 2013, one month after completing his third trip to space, Hadfield announced his retirement from the
Canadian Space Agency, effective 3 July 2013.[15] Hadfield stated that after living primarily in the United
14.4.2015 20:44
4 od 10
States since the 1980s for his career, he would be moving back to Canada, "making good on a promise I
made my wife nearly 30 years ago that yes, eventually, we would be moving back to Canada."[15] He
noted that he plans to pursue private interests outside government there.[15]
Hadfield is enthusiastic about the prospects for a manned mission to Mars, and when asked in 2011 if he
would consider a one-way journey to Mars to be the first to visit, he said "I would be honoured to be given
the opportunity."[16]
Space flights
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 attached a five-tonne docking module to Mir and transferred over 1,000 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.[8]
STS-100
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 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.[8][17]

International Space Station

On 19 December 2012, Hadfield launched in the Soyuz TMA-07M flight for a long duration stay on board
the ISS as part of Expedition 35. He arrived at the station two days later, as scheduled,[18] and became the
first Canadian to command the ISS when the crew of Expedition 34 departed in March 2013.[19] On 12 May
2013 he turned over command of the ISS, and returned home aboard the Soyuz spacecraft on 13 May.[20] He
received significant media exposure during his time on the ISS, and ended his time on the station by paying
tribute to David Bowie with a rendition of "Space Oddity".[21]
Social media
Hadfield was described as "perhaps the most social media savvy astronaut ever to leave Earth" by Forbes
after building a considerable audience on social media, including over 1,000,000 Twitter followers as of June
2013,[22] and creating one of the top Reddit AmA threads of all time.[23] He also has a popular Tumblr
blog.[24] His exchanges with William Shatner and other Star Trek actors received media coverage.[25]
Hadfield enlisted the help of his web-savvy son Evan to manage his social media presence.[26][27]
Music

During his free time on Expedition 35, Hadfield recorded music for an
album, using the Larrive Parlor guitar previously brought to the ISS.[28]
The first song recorded in space, Jewel in the Night, was released via
YouTube on Christmas Eve 2012.[29][30] His collaboration with Ed
Robertson of the Barenaked Ladies and the Wexford Gleeks, Is Somebody
Singing? (sometimes shortened I.S.S.), was aired on the CBC Radio
program Q and released by CBC Music online on 8 February 2013.[31]
Hadfield sang Is Somebody Singing along with singers across Canada for
the national Music Monday program.[32][33] Hadfield has been credited
musically on his brother Dave Hadfield's albums. He also has performed
with his brother the "Canada Song", which was released on YouTube on
Canada Day, 2014.[34]
On 12 May 2013, after handing over command of the ISS, but before
returning home, Hadfield released a music video recorded on the ISS of a
modified rendition of "Space Oddity" by David Bowie.[35][36] The video has
over 24 million views on YouTube. The performance was the subject of a
piece by Glenn Fleishman in The Economist on 22 May 2013 analyzing the
legal implications of publicly performing a copyrighted work of music while
in earth orbit.[37]

Autobiography
Hadfield's autobiography, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth: What Going to Space Taught Me About
Ingenuity, Determination, and Being Prepared for Anything[38] deals with his professional life and work,
and with numerous examples from the lead-up to his command of Expedition 35.
Post-retirement
In October 2013 Hadfield was interviewed by Maclean's magazine and appeared on its cover wearing face
make-up to "replicate Bowie's famed image from the cover of his Aladdin Sane album."[39] Hadfield wrote
an article for the December 2013 edition of Wired magazine in which he reflects on his time spent on the
International Space Station.[40]
On 8 October 2013 the University of Waterloo announced that Hadfield will join the university as a
professor for a three-year term beginning in the Fall of 2014. Hadfield's work is expected to involve
instructing and advising roles in aviation programs offered by the Faculty of Environment and Faculty of
Science, as well as assisting in ongoing research regarding the health of astronauts with the Faculty of
Applied Health Sciences.[41]
In 2013 Hadfield published a memoir, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth.[42] The book was a New York
Times bestseller[43] and was also the bestselling book in Canada on a Canadian subject.[44]
