"It was this idea that you're not a person who has integrity, you're a person who strives to be in integrity. Sometimes you're out of integrity, and sometimes you're in your integrity. That was profound for all of us."
"The Latin root means 'whole.' It's a very simple concept, and it's about being whole. This crew comes together as pieces-the four of us and our backups-but the six of us make up a whole team. The vehicle, the pieces come together and make up a whole spacecraft,"
"I hope that people hearing [the name] over the 10 days of the mission appreciate all of the different things that it means, from a whole ship, a whole crew, to a wholeness and wellness that I think humanity just needs. We need to hear more of that togetherness and wholeness,"
The crew adopted the name Integrity after an instructor's remark on a team-building trip framed integrity as an ongoing striving rather than a fixed trait. The Latin root meaning 'whole' shaped the idea of individual members and backups joining to form a complete team and spacecraft. Crew members linked integrity to truth, honor, and actions taken when unobserved. Integrity features in the Astronaut Code of Professional Responsibility and stands as a core Canadian Space Agency value. Crew members said integrity enables grace, builds trust, supports wholeness and wellness, and may become the crew's call sign after planned announcement timing.
