  1. Practical Space Canadian Space Agency benefits to every day society

  2. Government denies sale of MDA

  3. RadarSat-1 Disaster management Agriculture Oceanography Cartography (mapping) Hydrology (where’s the water) Forestry Ice studies Coastal monitoring

  4. RadarSat-2 launched December 14, 2007

  5. 1880Canada gains Arctic islands 1867Canada first founded 1895Border includes waters to 20 nautical milesplus waters between islands 1927Arctic extended to wedge to north pole Canada’s territorial evolution

  6. Russia’s claim doesn’t conflict with ours

  7. Angola flood

  8. OSIRIS Instrument on Swedish satellite Odin Measure ozone launched 2001

  9. Ozone hole over Antarcticcross-section

  10. Ozone map October 30, 2005at 4 altitudes

  11. SciSat-1 All Canadian satellite Measures 30 different chemicals that affect ozone launched 2003

  12. UV update • Late 1990s arctic hole, ozone dropped 45% • Ozone over Canada dropped 6% since 1970s • Spring ozone drops 8% - 10% • UV increased 7%, 10-12% in spring • Antarctic stationary hole is 25 million km2 • Ozone dropped 70% since 1979

  13. CloudSat

  14. MOPITT on Terra measure CO

  15. WINDII on UARSMeasure wind speed in the upper atmosphere One of 10 instruments on American satellite UARS Operated 1992 – June 2004 Orbit 585km Measured wind 80-300km

  16. Viking Ultraviolet Imager on Sweden’s Viking satellite February 1986 – January 1987

  17. Interball-2 Auroral Ultra-violet Imager on Russian satellite Interball-2 Launched 1996 Part of international cooperation in mid-90s Measure space weather by how it affects aurora Concern after Quebec Hydro black-out in 1989 1994 magnetic storms blocked Anikfor days newspapers couldn’t print TV also affected by Anik satellites

  18. Communications Anik A1, A2, A3, B1, C1, C2, C3, D1, D2, E1, E2, F1, F2, F3 Nimiq 1 & 2 MSAT M1 & M2

  19. Hermes Communications Technology Satellite

  20. Hermes Communications Technology Satellite • Designed and managed by Canada's Department of Communications • NASA and ESA provides some components • Launched January 16, 1976 from Cape Canaveral • First communications satellite to not spin, it used gyroscopes instead • Covered 40% of Earth’s surface • Tests included: • tests of telemedicine for emergency medical service • Teleconferencing and community TV • Televised the Stanley cup to Canadian diplomats in Peru • Led to Anik B, which had standard transponders for TV plus a pilot project for direct broadcast TV • Communication with Hermes lost in November 1979

  21. Alouette 1 & 2ISIS 1 & 2 Launched September 29, 1962 • First country to launch a satellite after US & USSR • Alouette 2 launched 1965 • Studied ionosphere, where low orbit satellites go today • Operated for 10 years before deliberately switched off • Alouette remains in orbit today, some engineers suggest it might turn on if the right signal was transmitted ISIS launched January 30 1969, and ISIS 2 in March 1971 • Studied ionosphere and aurora • Before satellites, radio was bounced off the ionosphere
