ORGANIZATION

A bit of history. Established in March 1989, the CSA is a federal agency responsible for managing all of Canada's civil space-related activities. The objects and functions of the CSA are set out in the Canadian Space Agency Act (S.C. 1990, c. 13).. In 1996, the CSA building is officially designated as the John H. Chapman Space Centre, commemorating the scientist Canadians consider the father STATE OF THE CANADIAN SPACE SECTOR As the President of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), I am honoured to present the 2019 State of the Canadian Space Sector Report: Facts and Figures 2018.The report, which we have been publishing since 1996, is the primary reference on the Canadian space sector.It contributes to our understanding of the sector by providing comprehensive and authoritative data, as well as long-term trend INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION About.

ABOUT DEXTRE

Dextre is a versatile robot that maintains the International Space Station (ISS). Part of Canada's contribution to the Station, it is the most sophisticated space robot ever built.. Dextre's tasks. Dextre tackles the tough or routine jobs that need to be done in the harsh environment of space.

SPACE CAREERS

There are TONS of interesting and fun careers in the space field – not only astronauts! If you love science, engineering or math, or just enjoy building things and solving problems, then we have a job for you! Here are a few examples: THE COLOURS OF THE NORTHERN LIGHTS The following colours can be seen when the northern lights are in the sky. Green: Green is the most common colour seen from the ground and is produced when charged particles collide with oxygen molecules at altitudes of 100 to 300 km.; Pink and dark red: Occasionally, the lower edge of an aurora will have a pink or dark red fringe, which is produced by nitrogen molecules at altitudes of around RADARSAT CONSTELLATION MISSION The RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) is Canada's new generation of Earth observation satellites.Launched on June 12, 2019, the three identical satellites work together to bring solutions to key challenges for Canadians.
