Kepler Communications has decided to go in-house to build its satellite constellation, and in so doing has become the second Canadian company to build a state-of-the-art small satellite manufacturing facility capable of mass production.

At the recent Royal Astronomical Society of Canada General Assembly Professor Gregg Wade provided an update on the BRITE Constellation mission.

The Department of National Defence’s Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) has provided SpaceQ with additional details on Project Grey Jay.

The Department of National Defence has awarded two contracts valued at $46.2M from the All Domain Situational Awareness Science & Technology Program for three microsatellites and two polar radars.

The Space Flight Laboratory (SFL) of the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies is celebrating 20 years of excellence in the nanosatellite and microsatellite market.

Dr. Robert Zee is the only director the Space Flight Laboratory (SFL) at the University of Toronto Institute of Aerospace has known since its inception in 1998. Over the years SFL has been an innovator in the field of small satellites and without question can be regarded as one of its pioneers.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) this week released a Request for Information (RFI) for the proposed Quantum Encryption and Science Satellite (QEYSSat) mission.

The advent of small satellites is not new. For several years small satellites have been on the rise. However, 2015 can be seen as the year small satellite constellations leapt to the forefront of the news with the announcements by OneWeb to launch 900 small satellites and SpaceX to launch up to 4,000 small satellites.

It would appear that several Canadian satellites are finally going to get their launch after years of delays by the Indian Space Research Organization.
