A new comprehensive 2030 Nature Strategy was announced last Thursday, June 13, 2024 by Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change (ECCC), and satellite data will play an integral part.

Space Canada’s Space Bound 2023 industry conference began with a bang on October 18, 2023, when François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry and Minister responsible for the Canadian Space Agency, announced $1.012 billion in funding over the next 15 years for the ‘RADARSAT+ portfolio.’

A newly posted notice of potential procurement (NPP) offers a preselected list of possible Canadian Space Agency (CSA) vendors the chance to bid on work for “continuity of space-based Earth observations services for the Government of Canada.”

In 2019 the Canadian space community was energized by the Government of Canada’s successful launch of the RADARSAT Constellation Mission; three satellites designed that among other things are able to help Canadians study dramatically changing climate – and such events as the breakup of massive ice sheets that have been present for thousands of years.

Canada is a technology leader when it comes to Synthetic Aperture Radar and has decades of experience through the RADARSAT programs.

Canada’s RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) will soon join a suite of 61 international satellites that assist emergency authorities in dealing with floods, storms, earthquakes and other problems threatening humans, according to the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).

Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) published notification today that Airbus Defence and Space Limited of the UK had been awarded a service support contract for the RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) and Polar Epsilon 2 (PE2) Cryptographic Subsystems.
