Should Canada invest in another radarsat 2?
no, it is a stupid idea
Is there a NASA in Canada?
The CSA (Canadian Space Agency) is Canada's national space agency, and is tasked with training of Canadian astronauts, maintenance of the Canadarm on the ISS and the RADARSAT system, and maintaining Canada's place as a leader in space technology.
Where is NASA in Canada?
The CSA (Canadian Space Agency) is Canada's national space agency, and is tasked with training of Canadian astronauts, maintenance of the Canadarm on the ISS and the RADARSAT system, and maintaining Canada's place as a leader in space technology. NASA is an agency of the American government and has no jurisdiction in Canada.
What names five artificial satellites that are orbing the earth?
Five artificial satellites that are orbiting the earth are ACRIMSAT, HAMSAT, OSCAR 3, PicoSAT and RADARSAT. There are scores of satellites that orbit the Earth for one reason or another.
Canadian contributions to space exploration?
Canada has made significant contributions to space exploration through its involvement in the International Space Station, the Canadarm, Canadarm2, Dextre, and the RADARSAT satellites. Canadian astronauts have also participated in numerous missions with NASA and other international space agencies. Furthermore, Canada has a strong presence in space robotics and is actively involved in upcoming projects, such as the Lunar Gateway.
Is Canada a world leader in satellite technology?
No, several other countries (Mainly the United States and Russia) hold a dominant lead over Canada in all forms of space technology. Ask your science teacher to back it up with facts, and she'll be dumbfounded. If you would like a more detailed explanation, search on Google for satellite and general space tech.
What have Canadians contributed to space?
The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has accomplished quite a lot and is very valuable to the International Space Station (ISS). With the launch of Alouette 1 in 1962 Canada became the third country to put a man-made satellite into space. It was launched by NASA before the CSA was created. The most widely know Canadian contributions to space travel are the Canadarm on the Space Shuttles and Canadarm2 on the Mobile Servicing Station on the ISS. Also the Orbiter Boom Sensor System which is used to inspect the Space Shuttle's Thermal Protection System while in orbit. Canada is also know for it's number of Astronauts that have contributed to space science. The CSA has also contributed to the satellite CludSat (launched in 1998) and the Earth Observing System (EOS launched in 1999). The EOS is responsible for MOPITT or Measurements of Pollutions in the Troposphere.
What is the roles of hams radio in disaster?
In times of crisis and natural disasters, amateur radio is often used as a means of emergency communication when wireline, cell phones and other conventional means of communications fail. Unlike commercial systems, Amateur radio is not as dependent on terrestrial facilities that can fail. It is dispersed throughout a community without "choke points" such as cellular telephone sites that can be overloaded. Amateur radio operators are experienced in improvising antennas and power sources and most equipment today can be powered by an automobile battery. Annual "Field Days" are held in many countries to practice these emergency improvisational skills. Amateur radio operators can use hundreds of frequencies and can quickly establish networks tying disparate agencies together to enhance interoperability. Recent examples include the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in Manhattan, the 2003 North America blackout and Hurricane Katrina in September 2005, where amateur radio was used to coordinate disaster relief activities when other systems failed. On September 2, 2004, ham radio was used to inform weather forecasters with information on Hurricane Frances live from the Bahamas. On December 26, 2004, an earthquake and resulting tsunami across the Indian Ocean wiped out all communications with the Andaman Islands, except for a DX-pedition that provided a means to coordinate relief efforts. Recently, Amateur Radio operators in the People's Republic of China provided emergency communications after the 2008 Sichuan earthquake and US hams did similar work following Hurricane Ike. The largest disaster response by U.S. amateur radio operators was during Hurricane Katrina which first made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane went through Miami, Florida on August 25, 2005, eventually strengthening to Category 5. More than a thousand ham operators from all over the U.S. converged on the Gulf Coast in an effort to provide emergency communications assistance. Subsequent Congressional hearings highlighted the Amateur Radio response as one of the few examples of what went right in the disaster relief effort.
