2017 · research · Class Grant and Contribution Program to Support Research, Awareness and Learning in Space Science and Technology

This project consists in testing a new portable Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology in zero gravity aboard a jet aircraft flying parabolic trajectories. The experiment during the flight, and the associated ground development, will verify that the new MRI technology would provide useful muscle and bone images of astronauts during future spaceflight. Muscle and bone loss is one of the primary health risks of long-term astronaut space flight. An MRI in space will allow scientists to study c

2017 · research · Class Grant and Contribution Program to Support Research, Awareness and Learning in Space Science and Technology

The 1987 Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was negotiated and signed by Canada along with 23 other countries. Since then the World Meteorological Organization has had an ongoing mandate to monitor and assess its effectiveness. To do this, they rely on high fidelity data records such as those produced by Canadian satellite instruments. This project will combine satellite and ground based measurements with Canada's OSIRIS instrument time series to produce Canada's long t
