Satellites are a principal method of modern long distance communications for good reason: there’s a lot of advantages in using them. For most individuals or small organizations, though, it’s still out of touch.

In our first SpaceQ podcast episode of our annual Winter Series we’re featuring a Future In-Space Operations teleconference on Maxar’s Power and Propulsion Element for the Lunar Gateway.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has selected five companies for its Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Analytics for Advanced Autonomous Space Systems challenge.

In this weeks SpaceQ podcast I interview Chad English on the implications of LEO satellite constellations for rural and remote communities.

At the behest of Director General Space (DG Space), the Department of National Defence has issued an invitation to tender for proposals related to a space-based surveillance system.

Ken Podwalski, the program manager for the Lunar Gateway at the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) gave his potato salad talk at last weeks Canadian Space Summit. It surprisingly made sense, though Ken’s optimism might not be shared by all.

As humanity looks to expand its human presence in space, whether in the microgravity of low Earth orbit, on the moon, Mars and eventually elsewhere, we’re going to need new clothing to work in a variety of environments.

Kepler Communication has successfully tested a high-bandwidth satellite connection in the high arctic, and while that’s good news for the startup, it still has a ways to go in delivering on its promise as an Internet of Things (IoT) telecommunications company.

Early this morning, two US astronauts used the Canadarm2 on the International Space Station to capture an important resupply spacecraft loaded with new scientific equipment and supplies for the crew.

With two demonstration satellites, KIPP and CASE, in orbit, and with nearly a combined three years of operational testing time, Kepler is now ready to take the next step.
