The first weather satellite launched on April 1, 1960, 60 years ago. In this feature on Science Weekend from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, the five things that changed weather forecasting forever are discussed by some of the pioneers in the field.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) officially announced the first contracts related to Canada’s goal of being an important participant in the ongoing science and future commercialization of the Moon.

The Canadian Space Agency has awarded three of four contracts valued at $2.1 million (pre-tax) for their Development of enabling space technologies RFP.

It was just over a week ago that we published the news that the first contract had been awarded by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) for the Lunar Surface Autonomous Science Payloads (LSASP) program.

The Canadian Space Agency has awarded ABB Canada a $2 million contract to develop a cryogenic scanning mirror up to TRL5 for the potential SPICA mission.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has awarded just over $15 million in funding to 25 companies for its Space Technology Development Program (STDP).

Japan’s H-IIA rocket recently launched the Greenhouse Gases Observing SATellite-2 (GOSAT-2) with an instrument developed by ABB in Quebec City.

That weather forecast you listen to everyday is brought to you in part by sensors ABB developed in part as a result of investments made by the Canadian government in a science satellite called SciSat 15 years ago.

Everyone was smiling at MDA’s Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue facility, not only because the government had just announced an investment of $26.7 million through the Space Technology Development Program (STDP), but also because the participants we’re about to see the three RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) satellites before they get shipped for launch this fall. All told, there were 49 projects funded through the STDP from two announcements of opportunities.
