The origins of the Canadian upper atmosphere and space program can be traced back to the end of the Second World War. [5] Between 1945 and 1960, Canada undertook a number of small launcher and satellite projects under the aegis of defence research, including the development of the Black Brant rocket as well as series of advanced studies examining both orbital rendezvous and re-entry.

A total of 258 companies, government agencies, and academic institutions participated in the pre-launch project; 142 from the United States, 104 from 12 European countries (including 21 from the U.K., 16 from France, 12 from Germany and 7 international), [153] and 12 from Canada. [152] Other countries as NASA partners, such as Australia, were ...

Now, a new discovery by NASA’s Perseverance rover shows a trifecta of compelling evidence—including the presence of water, organic compounds, and a chemical energy source—all on one rock ...
NASA compares the required accuracy by analogy: "If the Webb primary mirror were the size of the United States, each [mirror] segment would be the size of Texas, and the team would need to line the height of those Texas-sized segments up with each other to an accuracy of about 1.5 inches".
If NASA decides to use SpaceX, the Starliner capsule would return to Earth empty in September, per The Associated Press. The event is scheduled for 1 p.m. EDT. Watch the live video above.
The James Webb Space Telescope is a space telescope operated by NASA and designed primarily to conduct infrared astronomy.Launched in December 2021, the spacecraft has been in a halo orbit around the second Sun–Earth Lagrange point (L 2), about 1.5 million kilometers (900,000 mi) from Earth, since January 2022.
Nasa is about to set off to a distant, metal asteroid that could tell us how planets form. On Friday, the spacecraft – currently folded in the cargo bay of a SpaceX rocket – will leave from ...
