Canadian Space Program

The Canadian Space Program involves developing space technology and expertise to support scientific research, telecommunications, and Earth observation. Canada contributes through advanced satellite systems like RADARSAT for environmental monitoring, space robotics such as the Canadarm used on the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station, and collaborations with international agencies like NASA and ESA. The program promotes innovation, scientific discovery, and technological development, fostering economic growth and national security. It is managed by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), which oversees missions, research, and partnerships to enhance Canada's role in global space exploration efforts.
