Recently, the International Charter Space and Major Disaster was activated, after a storm hit the Rio Grande do Sul state in Brazil. As a Charter member, the CSA provided RADARSAT imagery that contributed to the creation of flood map products to help emergency management teams.

The James Webb Space Telescope hints at possible atmosphere surrounding the rocky exoplanet 55 Cancri e.

While 55 Cancri e may not harbor life, its study could unlock secrets about the evolution of rocky planets like Earth, Venus, and Mars.

Starliner is only the 6th spacecraft launching from the US to fly with astronauts onboard. I feel privileged to be at Kennedy Space Centre (NASA's Kennedy Space Center) to witness this launch. Joshua Kutryk

With the Aqualunar Challenge, we called on Canadian innovators to develop technologies to remove contaminants from Moon water. We gathered a great panel of experts to assess these technologies.

Meet the judging panel! ⬇️

While Joshua Kutryk is supporting NASA's Boeing Crew Flight Test from Houston, Jeremy R. Hansen is at Kennedy Space Center today and tomorrow. Go #Starliner !
