DOWNLOAD EBOOKCanada’s space efforts from its origins towards the end of the Second World War through to its participation in the ISS today are revealed in full in this complete and carefully researched history. Employing recently declassified archives and many never previously used sources, author Andrew B. Godefroy explains the history of the program through its policy and many fascinating projects. He assesses its effectiveness as a major partner in both US and international space programs, examines its current national priorities and capabilities, and outlines the country’s plans for the future. Despite being the third nation to launch a satellite into space after the Soviet Union and the United States; being a major partner in the US space shuttle program with the iconic Canadarm; being an international leader in the development of space robotics; and acting as one of the five major partners in the ISS, the Canadian Space Program remains one of the least well-known national efforts of the space age. This book attempts to shed a clearer light on the progress made by the CSA thus far, with more ambitious goals ahead. Technical information, diagrams, glossaries, a chronology, and extensive notes on sources are also included in this volume.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe mission of the international space station will be three-fold. It will provide an orbiting research base to assess the effects of long stays in space on human physiology and well-being, it will function as an advanced research laboratory to study near-zero gravity, near-perfect vacuum and lack of atmospheric interference, and it will be an engineering test-bed providing the opportunity to learn how to build, operate and maintain complex systems in space. This paper provides a background and analysis which looks at the space station, Canada's Space Station Program, the mobile servicing system, the Strategic Technologies in Automation and Robotics Program, other international contributions (Japanese Experimental Module, the European Space Agency's Pressurized Module, the Russian contribution), and progress in the assembly of the station. A chronology of events is included.
