Our friends at the Science Channel have posted a new video on the mysteries of Saturn.

Western University is readying to deploy a vision system for future rover missions on the moon, building on to rover technology the Canadian Space Agency has been supporting for at least two decades.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) officially announced the first contracts related to Canada’s goal of being an important participant in the ongoing science and future commercialization of the Moon.

Since space experiments are expensive, much of the testing for the final frontier takes place on airplanes simulating microgravity, or balloons that fly high in the stratosphere.

In this episode of Terranauts we feature Dr. Gordon Osinski, a professor at Western University and the director of the Institute for Earth and Space Exploration.

Not content with just having Western alumni Robert Weryk discover the first known interstellar object passing through our solar system in 2017, researchers are trying to trace the origins of the two known interstellar objects.

This weeks SpaceQ podcast has two segments. The first is my short interview with Conservative Party MP Erin O’Toole from the AIAC’s town hall followed by a segment on the launch of Western University’s Institute for Earth and Space Exploration.

For Western University, and in particular Dr. Gordon Osinski, years of hard work have led to the creation of only the second Research Institute level organization at the university, the new Institute for Earth and Space Exploration.

The Canadian Space Agency Tweeted yesterday that that the first Junior Astronaut activities are available for teachers, educators, parents and youth group leaders.

The Canadian Space Agency has selected Western University to help them guide the Junior Astronauts initiative with the program goal of engaging 80,000 youth across Canada during the current school year.
