The Canadian Space Summit provided SpaceQ an opportunity to sit down with Ryan Anderson of SatCan for an update, to learn about a new E/PO initiative called Space Matters, and to get a quick first reaction to Amazon’s new Ground Station service.

While there are several space conferences of note each year in Canada, there is only one annual event at present that covers a wide range of issues in the civil, commercial and military sectors. That conference is the Canadian Space Summit.

The 18th annual Canadian Space Summit is beginning to take shape and will host three concurrent events in Ottawa between November 27-29.

As September comes to a close there are some great events across Canada in October and November for the everyone in the space community.

The Canadian Space Society (CSS) is moving forward with implementing a Space Policy Committee which was part of a strategic plan developed in 2017.

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.”
