Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen and administrator Martin Bergeron, spoke about Canada’s contribution to the Artemis program, and how Canada (and Canadian companies) were contributing to the return to the lunar surface, at the beginning of this week’s Canadian Lunar Workshop.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) recently announced the four finalists for the Deep Space Food Challenge after narrowing it down from a substantial and diverse group of semi-finalists.

Between May 30 and June 1, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) will host the 2nd Canadian Lunar Workshop. The virtual only event includes a full program that outlines Canada’s ambitious lunar plans.

Three Canadian researches have been awarded funding for 2022-23 science investigations using the AstroSat astronomy space based observatory.

Whether it’s searching for exoplanets like Avatar’s Pandora with the Pandora SmallSat, or investigating dark energy and dark matter, Canadian researchers are taking advantage of space science research opportunities offered by the Canadian Space Agency.

Mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs) originating from deep space may be repeat offenders rather than one-off events, new research using Canadian facilities suggest.

SpaceQ has been provided new information that outlines what areas, and many specific programs, that Canada will contribute to as part of its €35.1M (~$60M) participation with the European Space Agency (ESA).

If all goes well, the ispace Japanese lander with Canadian technology onboard will land on the Moon on April 25 sometime after the landing sequence starts at 11:40 am ET (15:40 UTC).

Jeremy Hansen’s patience has paid off. After nearly 14 years as a Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut accumulating skills including managing teams like the 2017 astronaut class’ trainers, he will be aboard the Artemis 2 mission that is returning humans to the Moon’s area in November 2024 or so.

Artemis 2 will fly the next Canadian into space in November 2024, boosting someone from our country to the Moon for the very first time.
