Biografi
Payette har deltagit i två rymdfärder, STS-96 och STS-127, och har totalt tillbringat mer än 25 dagar i rymden. Hon har tjänstgjort som chefsastronaut för den Canadian Space Agency samt kapselkommunikatör vid Nasas Mission Control Center i Houston.
I juli 2013 utsågs Payette till chief opererating officer vid Montreal Science Center och i april 2014 utsågs hon till ledamot i styrelsen för Kanadas riksbank[1]. Kanadas premiärminister Justin Trudeau föreslog henne till att efterträda David Johnston som generalguvernör under 2017. Payette avgick som generalguvernör 21 januari 2021 sedan en utredning fann att hon bidrog till en dålig arbetsmiljö för dem som arbetade i hennes närhet.[2][3]
Payette har varit gift två gånger och har ett barn.

Space Shuttle mission STS-127 is the 32nd construction flight of the International Space Station (ISS) and the final of a series of three flights dedicated to the assembly of the Japanese "Kibo" laboratory complex. In addition to delivering, installing, and servicing an external scientific platform that will be attached to the end of the Japanese module, STS-127 will bring up a new ISS crew member and return another one to Earth, replace vital components of the ISS electrical production system, and transfer various pieces of hardware to ISS. Five spacewalks and the operation of four different robotic arms will be required to accomplish these tasks over 10 days. A crew spokesperson had the following words for the patch. "Bathed in sunlight, the blue Earth is represented without boundaries to remind us that we all share this world. In the center, the golden flight path of the space shuttle turns into the three distinctive rays of the astronaut symbol culminating in the star-like emblem characteristic of the Japanese Space Agency, yet soaring further into space as it paves the way for future voyages and discoveries for all humankind."
Designed by the crew members, this is the mission insignia for the STS-96 space flight, the second Space Shuttle mission dedicated to the assembly of the International Space Station (ISS). The crew patch highlights the major themes of the Station Program: Earth-directed research, the advancement of human space exploration, and international cooperation. The Space Shuttle Discovery is depicted shortly after reaching orbit as the crew prepares to carry out the first docking with the new Station. At this early stage in its construction, ISS consists of two modules: Zarya and Unity, shown orbiting Earth. The triangular shape of the patch represents building on the knowledge and experience of earlier missions, while the three vertical bars of the astronaut emblem point toward future human endeavors in space. The five-pointed star that tops the astronaut emblem in this depiction is symbolic of the five space agencies participating in the development of ISS: NASA, the Russian Space Agency, the European Space Agency, the National Space Development Agency of Japan, and the Canadian Space Agency. The blend of red, white, and blue is a tribute to the nationalities of the crew members who are from the United States, Canada, and Russia.
