It was great to hear from Roberto Vittori this morning at the ESA Technology @canada_mars Moving to Mars Workshop. Can’t wait to see what is in store for tomorrow!

We are excited to see SEDS-ÉEDS Canada at #SPEX2022 ✨ Be sure to check out their booth this weekend!

Pleasant morning discussing lava tube exploration and leaning about human space flight with European Space Agency Agenzia Spaziale ITA astronaut Roberto Vittori SpaceEx

Last summer, I created a bit of a stir when I tweeted out a picture of a Space Concordia 35 kN rocket engine being hydrotested in a bathtub. Today, at the SpaceEx conference, I got to hold the real thing! #SPEX2022,

Thank you to RASC Montreal Centre RASC National for showing us how amateur astronomers can capture wonderful photos of planets with “lucky imaging”

Great talk from Pooneh Maghoul that touched on the delicate relationship between climate change, permafrost, and carbon dioxide emissions.

Two students and Haydn Hanna from @canada_mars presented the Mars Explorer Program, an educational program aimed at getting young students excited to explore Mars. Can’t wait to see how the program develops in the next few years!

Students, Makenna and Justin, from SEDS-ÉEDS Canada provided a look into the number of things students can do to gain hands on experience in the space industry. Finding a mentor, joining student clubs, and networking were a few examples that have been helpful in their careers so far.

Adam Trumpour discussed the mission, major challenges, and importance of Launch Canada in how student rocketry projects are building Canada’s launch industry.
