  • Canadian science experiments conducted onboard the International Space Station

    Over the last few weeks, Canadian Space Agency (CSA) scientists and engineers on the ground in the Payload Telescience Operations Centre (PTOC) supported nine on-orbit science sessions on the International Space Station (ISS). With the help of astronauts, they conducted activities for Canadian science experiments CARDIOBREATH, Space Health and Vascular Aging.

  • [Video] Watch a solar eclipse without damaging your eyes

    Learn about safe practices for observing a solar eclipse. To prevent serious eye damage, always avoid direct eye contact with the Sun, especially during a solar eclipse. Use special glasses with eclipse filters, as regular sunglasses won't offer sufficient protection. Prioritize your eye health while enjoying the beautiful spectacle of a solar eclipse.

  • Astronauts and materials for Canadian science heading to the International Space Station aboard Crew-10

    NASA's SpaceX Crew-10 mission is scheduled to launch tomorrow, March 12, from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft will lift off atop a Falcon 9 rocket and is expected to dock to the International Space Station (ISS) the following day. Crew Dragon will carry NASA astronauts Anne McClain as commander and Nichole Ayers as pilot, along with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov to the ISS for an approximate five-month science mission. The crewed vessel will also deliver materials for Canadian experiments Vascular Calcium and Space Health, which includes headbands and wearables for the Bio-Monitor, a Canadian innovative all-in-one wearable technology designed to fit into an astronaut's daily routine and measure physiological data.

Update - 2024-06-23 - The Society did not set up a Field Day station this year.  

Field Day 2024 is taking place,

  • from 1800 UTC Saturday June 22, 2024 to 2059 UTC Sunday June 23, 2024; or
  • alternatively from 1800 UTC Saturday June 22, 2024 to 1800 UTC Sunday June 23, 2024 if one begins setting up the station before 1800 UTC on the Saturday.

We have yet to decide on a place and how we will approach the event.
