Tag Archives: Canadian Space Society Summit

This week on the SpaceQ podcast we did something a little different. Instead of interviewing a guest we decided to playback a speech we recorded from the recent Canadian Space Summit by Canadian Space Agency president Sylvain Laporte.

Depending on who you talked to at the Canadian Space Society annual Space Summit you might come away thinking optimistically about the future of Canada’s space sector or that we’re on precipice about to fall off the cliff.

Today’s podcast was recorded at the Canadian Space Society’s annual Space Summit in Ottawa on November 21st . I spoke with Dr. Kazuya Yoshida of Tohoku University in Japan.

In reference to cult classic Star Trek, this year’s Canada Space Society Space Summit’s theme was “Canada’s Next Space Generation.”

When Larisa Beach started in the aerospace industry more than three decades ago, she was a lone woman in a man’s world.

If it is said that innovation of defence excellence is the Canadian Department of National Defence’s research and development goal, then it could be noted that Canadian space industry “start-ups” may possibly provide an answer to the space capability requirements that have been listed in the Department’s recent defence policy document.

There’s something about Ottawa and the Canadian Space Summit. Each year the Canadian Space Society holds their annual summit in a different city.  However, as the Summit returns to Ottawa this year, there’s an expectation that the conference will deliver more, and it usually does.

This years Canadian Space Summit by the Canadian Space Society is once again being held in Ottawa between November 12-15 with the theme Canada’s Space Economy.
