IDRSat aims to study how materials degrade in space by looking at how useful construction materials are affected by extreme temperatures, radiation, and space debris in low Earth orbit, and by studying material changes in colour, texture, brittleness, and electrical conductivity. The results of the study could lead to more cost-efficient solutions for the space sector. The satellite will be completed in collaboration with Saskatchewan Polytechnic, University of Alberta, SED Systems and Innocor

The project is entitled 'Trans-ionospheric propagation investigations of high frequency radio waves in the terrestrial ionosphere by the ePOP satellite mission'. The project team will improve our understanding of how radio waves travel through the upper atmosphere (the ionosphere) by analysing data from Canada's CASSIOPE satellite and radio wave instruments on the ground. Radio waves are essential for communications in northern Canada and for flights over polar regions. The team will develop a m

The project consists in using a small package of heritage and novel sensors to sample the stratospheric air from a balloon platform and make measurements of aerosol size and concentration. These aerosols, which typically form in the tropics from natural and anthropogenic sources such as volcanic eruptions, play an important role in climate change by scattering sunlight away from the Earth. These measurements will support the scientific record of such observations and be highly useful for validat

The project name is ""Assessing the impact of limb sounding on the forecasting of surface pollution and the Air Quality Health Index"". It is generally assumed that stratospheric profile measurements from a space-based limb sounding instrument will lead to improved air quality forecasts (including the Air Quality Health Index). This project will conduct a thorough assessment using the ECCC air quality model and prediction system. Measurements of ozone and nitrogen dioxide from Canada's OSIRIS in

The project title is: ""Advanced multi-instrument record of stratospheric aerosol and the climate impact"" Using measurements from Canadian satellite instruments, the objective of this project is to extend and improve the space-based aerosol data record for the lower stratosphere. This is a challenging region to measure, but important as it has been shown to contain a potentially significant portion of the total aerosol budget. An improved dataset will be used in combination with a Canadian coup
