Seven Canadian university teams are at CSA headquarters this week readying their CubeSats for a launch in March.

In 2016 the Canadian Space Agency began the process of what would become the Canadian CubeSat Project. Now six years later and after several delays, most induced by the the pandemic, the first two student satellites from this project are scheduled to launch Saturday, Nov. 26.

Building on the ongoing Canadian CubeSat Project (CCP), the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is launching a new follow-on program, the CubeSats Initiative in Canada for STEM (CUBICS).

The first university built CubeSat’s for the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) Canadian CubeSat Project (CCP) have made their way to the CSA headquarters for their final preparation ahead of a late summer or early fall launch to the International Space Station.
