Atoms-thick layer of silicon-based semiconductor may allow us to better understand the harsh environments of Venus

Atoms-thick layer of silicon-based semiconductor may allow us to better understand the harsh environments of Venus

In 1967, Venera 4 was the 1st probe to transmit data from another planet’s atmosphere. 8 models, and close to 15 years, later we were able to receive the 1st colour panoramic views of that same planet’s surface. Today, Venus still very much remains a mystery with probes unable to withstand the extreme temperatures and atmospheric pressures for more than 127 minutes. However, researchers at Standford University’s Extreme Environment Microsystems Laboratory are working on developing an atoms-thick

The Anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's Flight

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to venture into space. At just after 9 am local time at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Gagarin launched into low earth orbit, completed a full orbit in 108 minutes, and returned safely. This achievement not only firmly set the Soviet Union has the leader in space technology at the time, but marked the beginning of the human exploration of space. Internationally, April 12 is now "Yuri's Night," an evening of celebration meant to

Atmosphere Found Around Earth-like Planet GJ 1132b

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Astronomers from Keele University, the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, and others, have discovered the first atmosphere around an Earth-sized planet. The planet, GJ1132b is about 1.4x Earth's diameter and 39 light years away from us. Currently there are over 3000 known planets orbiting stars other than the Sun, but only a handful of which have been confirmed to have atmospheres, and all of which are massive Jupiter-sized planets. In the ongoing quest to find a planet similar to Earth, this

Northern lights: The world’s first domestic satellites

Northern lights: The world’s first domestic satellites

During the Cold War it was hard to come across aerospace technology that wasn’t driven by militaristic intentions or purposes of espionage. So, while the space race was waging Canada managed to make the first domestic satellite the world had ever seen. It was called the Anik A, and launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on a Thor-Delta rocket in 1972. Telesat Canada made the satellite capable of directing frequencies anywhere in the country and allowed for CBC to broadcast throughout the

Predicting space storms

Canada Foundation for Innovation

SuperDARN monitors how weather in the galaxies affect our planet. SuperDARN is an international network of high-frequency radars located around the world. They monitor and study space weather to understand how it interacts with the Earth’s communications, energy and navigation infrastructures. Kathryn McWilliams, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan and Program Leader for SuperDARN Canada, works with a team of engineers to analyze the data collected from the radars in Saskatoon and

AlbertaSat is Making Space History in Alberta

ASTech Foundation

It’s not often that a group etches their name into our country’s history books, but 2016 ASTech Award Winner for Group Innovation Under 30 AlbertaSat is on their way to doing exactly that thanks to their mission into space. AlbertaSat is participating in the QB50 project, a joint space mission involving university students from 28 countries. Each team is building one of 50 cube satellites that are scheduled to be launched together in March 2017 to the International Space Station (ISS) and then

Space Sled

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

It looks like an uncomfortable beach chair, complete with a polka-dotted umbrella. In fact, it is an experimental apparatus used aboard the Space Shuttle to test human adaptation to the microgravity environment of Space. The space sled, as it was known, was first deployed in 1992 aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. Canada’s contribution to the International Microgravity Laboratory mission (IML-1), the sled tested human responses to Space flight, including vision, hand-eye co-ordination, and

Canadarm

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Giving a helping hand in outer Space The Canadarm first launched into Space aboard Space Shuttle Columbia in 1981. The Shuttle Remote Manipulator System (its official name) measures 15 metres in length and has six rotating joints that give it a range of movement mimicking the human arm. Five Canadarms were used in the Space Shuttle program over its thirty-year span: they captured satellites, unpacked payloads and cargo, and cradled astronauts as they conducted inspections or maintenance. The

Alouette 1 Satellite

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

In 1962, Canada became the third country after the Soviet Union and the United States to put a satellite in orbit. Alouette 1’s mission was to conduct scientific tests in the ionosphere, the atmospheric layer used to reflect radio waves for long-distance communications. Alouette 1 featured innovations such as long lasting nickel-cadmium batteries, solar panels, transistors, and extendible antennae. Alouette 1 proved remarkably durable and useful: intended to operate for one year, the satellite

Dr. Roberta Bondar

Beginning of Bondar Roberta Bondar was born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. She spent time conducting science experiments in her basement laboratory that her father built for her and loved the science fairs at her school. She also went to high school there before eventually leaving for a lengthy post-secondary education. Her accolades in school include: Bachelor of Science degree in zoology and agriculture from the University of Guelph in 1968 Master of Science degree in experimental pathology
