CSA astronaut Joshua Kutryk talks about the International Space Station (ISS) and its importance in terms of science and exploration. The ISS is a key stepping stone for future deep-space missions.

We are thrilled to introduce Tomatosphere Adventure, the latest learning activity from Let's Talk Science! This Minecraft Education game was developed in collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency and Logics Academy. It blends elements of our well-loved Tomatosphere program with new learning opportunities to spark the curiosity of the next generation of scientists!

Humanity is going back to the Moon, and Canada is part of this exciting journey. Among our many projects related to lunar exploration, a first Canadian rover is set to explore the South Pole of the Moon. It will demonstrate innovative key technologies, gather scientific information, and search for water in the form of ice. What should we name this space robot? The CSA wants its name to be representative of the mission or to allude to Canada's legacy or future in space. The rover will be the first in a series of anticipated lunar rovers, and its name should be inspiring! The CSA is calling on Canadians of all ages to help find this cutting-edge space robot the most suitable name among these top finalists.

NASA's SpaceX CRS-31 commercial resupply mission is scheduled to launch on tonight from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to the International Space Station (ISS). The Dragon cargo spacecraft will carry a blood pressure monitoring kit used by Canadian experiments CARDIOBREATH, Vascular Aging, and Vascular Calcium. The latter two are part of the Vascular series, which studies the effects of weightlessness on astronauts' blood vessels and hearts during their space mission. CARDIOBREATH looks at how astronauts' cardiovascular and respiratory systems control their blood pressure.

Discover the International Space Station through five facts about this marvel of international collaboration, engineering, science and exploration.

CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen tells us about a humbling visit to the Turtle Lodge Centre of Excellence in Indigenous Education and Wellness and the teachings that guide him on his journey to the Moon. During the visit, he was honoured with Anishinaabe artist Henry Guimond who designed his personal mission patch for the Artemis II mission. The Turtle Lodge is a place for reconnecting to the Earth and sharing Indigenous ancestral knowledge, founded on the Seven Sacred Laws also known as the Seven Grandfather Teachings.

The Canadian Space Agency is advancing rover operations by investing an additional $1M in technologies developed by two Canadian companies, Canadensys and MDA Space. In December 2023, $2.9M in funding was awarded to advance technologies focused on several fundamental fields for lunar exploration. These activities could prove key to the development of the future Canadian utility rover.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has awarded contracts to four Canadian companies – Baüne, Lunar Medical, CardioComm Solutions, and ResusMind – to design the next generation of prototypes for the Connected Care Medical Module (C2M2). Each company received approximately $150,000 for the design phase, of which up to three companies would proceed the development of a prototype that could transform healthcare delivery in space and in remote areas of Canada.
