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.

On Wednesday April 19, 2017, Orbital ATK's 7th resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS) launched from Cape Canaveral. The Cygnus cargo module was launched atop an Atlas V rocket with over 7600 lbs of supplies and science equipment. Three days later, the module got close enough to the ISS for European Space Agency's (ESA) Thomas Presquet to take this image of the Cygnus capsule on approach. Just a bit later, Presquet and ISS Commader Peggy Whitson used CanadArm to secure the

As we celebrate World Space Week 2018, kids from across Canada have been busy thinking up creative ideas about how to improve the human experience in space. Last year, Little Inventors — a U.K.-based organization — launched an initiative called Little Inventors: Inventions for Space, in partnership with the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Canadian Space Agency. Kids across Canada were challenged to dream up ideas to make life easier — and more fun — in

Daniel Prinn Algonquin College Journalism Program George J. Klein was one of Canada’s most productive inventors of the 20th Century. Born in Hamilton, Ontario, his father, a watch and jewellery store owner, initially sparked Klein’s interest in mechanical design. Klein studied at the University of Toronto and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in applied science in 1928.

This year, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum is celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of the grand opening of its new building. Originally known as the National Aviation Museum, it actually opened in 1960 at Uplands Airport in Ottawa before the new building was opened on June 17, 1988. Three decades after that historic day, it’s time to look back at where it all began. The following series of photos offers a snapshot of the museum’s history while two long-time employees, Gail Lacombe and

When visiting museums, I have often taken part in hands-on activities to get a better sense of the historical significance of an exhibition. However, it was not until my three-week summer placement at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum that I truly understood the complex logistics behind such activities. It takes a whole lot of planning, testing, and paperwork to get a public program going smoothly! I got a taste of these steps this past summer; I had the chance to help create an engaging

Grab a chair, or a beanbag, my reading friend. While it is true that we are not in Longueuil, Québec, in July 1969, waiting for a human being to set foot on the Moon, we nonetheless have the right to have a little comfort. Let us start our weekly peroration with a review of the situation. The photo above was / is from the 27 July 1969 issue of the weekly Le Petit Journal of Montréal, Québec, a publication gone for many years now. Let us continue our peroration with the question you probably

“Boundless Horizons” for Outreach Exhibitions I love quirkiness—anything surprising that makes me pause, take note, or re-think. That’s one reason I find interpretive planning so rewarding. I get to find creative ways to share stories with museum visitors—layering catchy texts, evocative images, and historic objects.
