The Canadian Space Agency said it will hold a press conference at its Montreal headquarters on Thursday to present "the first philanthropic mission to the International Space Station by a private Canadian explorer."
The CSA announcement is to be made simultaneously in Moscow, where the mystery traveler is to be joined by representatives of space tour operator Space Adventures.
"The first Canadian space explorer... (is) slated to launch with Soyuz TMA-16 crew this September," the agency said in a statement.
A spokesperson for the Cirque was not immediately available for comment.
