THE UNIVERSE NEEDS MORE CANADA

In Canada, we celebrate our differences, embrace our vibrant cultural mosaic, and try to take care of each other.

And we’re (usually) pretty low key about our achievements. But, did you know Canada was the 3rd country in space, the 1st to have a satellite telecommunications system, and 1st to have an operational and commercially-focused radar remote sensing system? And today, thanks to that 60-year legacy, Canada is a world leader in satellite communications, Earth observation, space robotics (go Canadarm!), space science, optics and sensors. Since 1983, 14 Canadians have been selected to become astronauts (and our astronauts are the coolest).
