Canada has a long and proud history in Space. Ever since the launch of the Alouette-1 satellite in 1962, Canada has been at the forefront of the use of satellites to understand the Earth and to explore the farthest reaches of our Solar System and beyond. Space Innovates. Space Inspires. Space Matters.
The future of innovation and exploration depends on developing the minds and imaginations of the next generation of thinkers, researchers and space pioneers. Here at Space Matters we believe that every Canadian should have access to a rich variety of learning opportunities. The goal of Space Matters is to raise awareness of the importance of space to Canadians and how it touches on nearly every aspect of their daily lives. From Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and satellite communications to weather fore
Through Space Matters we seek to connect Canadians from coast to coast who are interested in space and to use space to ignite interest and motivate young minds to study science and engineering and to pursue careers in these fields.
