Canada as never seen before: The new RADARSAT Constellation Mission

Michel Labrecque

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Technology

Canada's RADARSAT program has a long history, going back to experimenting with radar sensors onboard the Convair 580 aircraft, which is now in the collection of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum.

Julie-France Czapla with a model of a McDonnell Mercury space capsule. Anon. “Partout – Julie-France choisit Anik.” La Patrie, 23 November 1969, 15.

A satellite called Trudeau, Satty Chatty, Rendez-vous, or… Anik

Hello, dzień dobry and ublaahatsiatkut. I hope that the stars are favorable to you, my reading friend, and I use this expression knowing full well that astrology is a pseudoscience without any real foundation. Would you like to know all the data with which I started writing this issue of our blog / bulletin / thingee? Wunderbar. Allow me to quote the legend of the photograph above, in translation, extracted from the 23 November 1969 issue of the weekly, earlier on daily, La Patrie of Montréal

Jacques Lebrun. Claude Asselin, “Selon le professeur Jacques Lebrun ‘Les lunautes peuvent comme à la maison, se raser en caleçon.’” Photo-Journal, from 17 to 23 November 1969, 7.

Sing us a song, you’re the weatherman: Jacques Lebrun and the conquest of space

As was said (typed?) by a somewhat reckless individual, namely moi, while it is true that working for an institution such as the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario, can sometimes be difficult, it is also true that the resources and treasures it preserves are unmatched in this country. Yours truly has dug in these resources on many occasions over the past 3 decades. I will not do so today, my reading friend. You see, today’s topic has little to do with aviation. I know. I too

An drawing of students looking through a telescope and discussing different names for an exoplanet

Canada’s Name the Exoplanet Contest!

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Scientists have discovered thousands of planets orbiting stars other than the Sun, aka exoplanets. Most of those planets have boring names consisting of letters and numbers that keep track of the star catalogue in which they are listed. Take, for example, planet HD 136418b. The "HD" refers to the Henry Draper Catalogue, the "136418" means the planet orbits the 136,418th star in the catalogue, and the "b" refers to it being the first planet discovered around that star (they don't use "a" because

The first Western movie set on the Moon: Moon Zero Two, Part 2

Rénald Fortier

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Howdy again, my reading friend, and… I see a hand waving through the fog of space and time. You have a question? Yes, you are indeed correct. James Olson, the somewhat colourless American actor who played William H. “Bill” Kemp, the antihero of the British science fiction movie Moon Zero Two mentioned in the first part of this article, also starred in The Andromeda Strain, an American classic science fiction film first shown in March 1971. And yes, the Hungarian born British actress who played

The first western movie set on the Moon: Moon Zero Two, Part 1

Rénald Fortier

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Howdy, my reading friend. How do you do? Yours truly has a bit of an oddball / incongruous movie for you this week. You see, Moon Zero Two was / is a British science fiction film whose premiere took place, you guessed it, in the month of October. Can you figure out in which year said premiere took place? Given the look of the poster, including the, err, scantily clad female characters, you presume that Moon Zero Two did not hit the silver screen in 1949 or 1959? Very good. Perhaps 1969, you say

Five different moons of Saturn in one image

It’s your chance to name a moon of Saturn

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Normally, when a comet, asteroid, or moon is discovered in our Solar System, the discoverer gets to name the object. This time around, scientists are changing things up! In early October, scientists announced the discovery of 20 new moons in orbit around the planet Saturn. The team who found these new Saturnian satellites have created a Twitter contest, whereby anyone from around the world can suggest names for them. Want to try and name a moon of Saturn? Then check out this article.

Two of the main actors of the Québec television series Kosmos 2001: Guy Ferron (on the left) and Percy Rodriguez. Anon., “de passionnantes aventures interplanétaires: ‘kosmos 2001’ ” La semaine à Radio-Canada, from 25 April to 1 May 1964, 32.

A thrilling, or slightly too abstract, television series, set against a Cold War background: Kosmos 2001

Jó naput / hello, my reading friend. And yes, you are quite right in saying that the photograph at the beginning of this article did not appear in La semaine à Radio-Canada¸ a weekly published in Montréal, Québec, in October 1959 or 1969. I appealed to it because it allowed me to talk about a Québec television series aimed at a young audience, one of the first televised science fiction series in Québec and Canada in fact, whose premiere took place in October 1959, 60 years ago. Produced by the

At a blackboard, Serge Lapointe of the Département de Physique of the Université de Montréal showing the evolution of rocketry since the Second World War. Anon., “Le fabuleux voyage de ‘Lunik II’.” Le Petit Journal, from 20 to 27 September 1959, 97.

The fabulous destiny of the Soviet lunar probe Lunik II

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

A big interplanetary hello, my reading friend. Yours truly wishes to begin this text with an irrevocable promise: I shall be brief. A big thank you for your applause. I think. I must confess to being a little short of time these days and that’s why I looked at the photograph above, published in the 20 to 27 September 1959 issue of the weekly Le Petit Journal of Montréal, Québec. I dare to hope that this space topic, closely related to the fields of activity of the Canada Aviation and Space

A poster of the Soviet science fiction movie Nebo Zovyot.

Nebo zovyot and Battle Beyond the Sun; or, Why, oh why did Americans trash a very good Soviet science fiction movie? Part 2

Rénald Fortier

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Greetings, my reading friend, and welcome to… What’s this? The image is a tad small? Well, excuse … Actually, now that you mention it, it is a tad small. Would this one be better?
