Canadian Space Directory

NEW LISTING

The objective of the Canadian Space Directory (CSD) is to introduce capabilities of Canadian organisations involved in the space sector. It is a marketing and networking tool for those working in the field and a reference tool for those wanting to become involved in facilitating access to companies, universities and departments already possessing experiences in space science and technology development. To be registered in the CSD, organizations must already have participated or contributed in at least one space project.

Questions/comments:

Definition of the canadian space sector

The space sector consists of organizations (private, public and academic) whose activities rely on the development and the use of space assets and/or space data.

In accordance with this definition, the Canadian space sector encompasses the following activities:

Space-Segment
R&D, manufacturing, testing, integration and launch of platforms (satellites, spacecraft and robotic systems), complete systems, subsystems, and components.

Ground Segment
R&D, manufacturing, testing, and integration of facilities on Earth for controlling space-based systems and satellites, for linking satellites to operational terrestrial networks and for processing satellite-derived data.

Applications
The development and/or provision of services and value-added products and technologies that are derived from the use of space systems and/or data.

Other Services
The provision of consulting and engineering services.

Fundamental Space Research
The research related to non-commercial space activities.
