In what really came as no surprise, NASA today announced that the next two Artemis missions to the Moon will be pushed back at least six months.

NASA has selected the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) mission as one of two Astrophysics Probe Explorers mission class for Phase A funding. The science team includes two Canadian researchers.

NASA has selected MDA Geospatial Service Inc., an MDA Space company, as one of eight awardees for its Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition Program On-Ramp1 Multiple Award.

GHGSat methane emissions data has passed its evaluation period and has been approved for use through NASA’s Commercial Small Satellite Data Acquisition Program.

NASA has released a detailed flyby video of the Lunar Gateway, a key part of the Artemis program. The 2 minute visualization gives a you a good sense of he elements that make up the Gateway, including Canada’s contribution, the Canadarm3.

After multiple launch delays in the past month, NASA’s first crewed Starliner for the Crew Flight Test mission finally launched. Onboard the capsule were NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore, commander, and Suni Williams, pilot.

The Canadian Space Agency hosted the second Artemis Accords workshop at its headquarters between May 21-23, 2024 and included a focus on non-interference and interoperability among other topics discussed.

It was a little less than a year and half ago that the first Artemis Accords signatories meeting was held in Paris. Next week, the Canadian Space Agency will host the second workshop at its headquarters between May 21-23.

It’s just a coincidence, but Arizona is the location of both NASA training and Western University Planetary Surface Processes Field School this month.

NASA has set a tentative date of No Earlier Than (NET) Monday, April 22, 2024 for what is expected to be the final test flight of the Starliner capsule. Should this Crew Flight Test (CFT) go smoothly then the Starliner-1 mission with Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk onboard would launch NET early 2025.
