The Canadian Space Agency will hosts seven webinars starting tomorrow in support of its Flights and Fieldwork for the Advancement of Science and Technology (FAST) program.

It all started in the late 1990’s. A group of researchers came up with the idea of creating a new small satellite platform, called a CubeSat, to help students develop the skills to build satellites.

Last year the University of Manitoba made the decision to bring in industry veteran Philip Ferguson to help the university expand its research efforts with respect to small satellites.

It is unprecedented and it’s about time. The announcement that the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) had selected 15 university teams to participate in the Canadian CubeSat Project was made last Friday at the University of Manitoba by astronaut Jenni Sidey. The selected teams insure that there is representation from every province and territory. This is a national endeavour.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has contracted NanoRacks as the launch services provider for the Canadian CubeSat Project.
