Research, Technology, Innovation - Canadian Space Agency The Canadian Space Program, which is coordinated by the CSA, establishes the strategic importance of space in Canada's transition to a knowledge-based economy and to the government's social, scientific, sovereignty, industrial, security and foreign policy objectives. The CSA and Canadian scientists also collaborated in international missions such as NASA's EOS, Sweden's Odin, Russia's Interball and the Japanese interplanetary mission, Planet-B. Development began on microgravity and life sciences experimental facilities for the International Space Station and an agreement was made with NASA to launch SciSat-1, a Canadian-led science satellite. Space science at the CSA is concerned with advancing knowledge of space, the universe and the basic physical, chemical and biological processes that occur in space. strategis.ic.gc.ca /epic/internet/inrti-rti.nsf/en/te01452e.html   (1381 words)
