Early this morning, two US astronauts used the Canadarm2 on the International Space Station to capture an important resupply spacecraft loaded with new scientific equipment and supplies for the crew.

We rarely get to hear what happens behind the scenes at a mission control, let alone how Canada participated in the Space Shuttle missions and now the International Space Station.

Today we present the second part of our podcast series titled what is the real world Low Earth Orbit (LEO) space station habitat marketplace?

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has added two new events to its fall calendar for its Deep-space Healthcare Initiative; a National Space Health Forum and a NanoRacks Industry Day.

What is the real world Low Earth Orbit (LEO) space station habitat marketplace? That’s a central question in this weeks SpaceQ podcast, the first of Season 3.

When astronaut David Saint-Jacques arrived at the Canadian Space Agency headquarters for the first time following his six month mission aboard the International Space Station, he received an enthusiastic welcome.

Adjusting to Earth’s gravity affects every astronaut differently, for David Saint-Jacques getting his equilibrium back to normal has been one of the issues.

After six months in space, David-Saint-Jacques and his crewmates, NASA Flight Engineer Anne McClain and Expedition 59/Soyuz Commander Oleg Kononenko of the Russian space agency Roscosmos landed safely tonight at 10:47 p.m. EDT.

Recently Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint‑Jacques had an opportunity to speak with the students and staff of Kiluutaq School in the community of Umiujaq in northern Quebec where he used to practise medicine.

Yesterday former astronaut Dr. Dave Williams and Shagun Maheshwari of The Knowledge Society spoke with David Saint-Jacques onboard the International Space Station on AI for health on Earth and Space at the C2 Conference in Montreal.
