Canadian satellites are essential to support emergency response in remote areas like the Arctic, and to monitor the progression of disasters. 📷 2024 Fort Good Hope wildfire (before, during, after, and regrowth one year later), Sentinel-2

Today we’re celebrating the number π (3.14159…), which is used everywhere in science. In 2023, NASA astronaut Stephen Bowen aboard the @Space_Station, celebrated Pi Day with a tiny pie. A proof that math can be delicious. 📷: NASA/Warren Hoburg

President Lisa Campbell recently welcomed members of the @UVic’s CUBICS team to CSA! They tested their CubeSat MARMOSat, a miniature satellite, to ensure it survives a rocket's vibration. Launch is expected in July 2026. More on CUBICS: asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/satellites… 📷: CSA

The Mackenzie River, lifeline of the Canadian Arctic 🌊 Our Canadian satellites help monitor this river’s influence on Arctic sea ice and global climate. 📷 Sentinel-2 & RCM

Following a Flight Readiness Review that took place this week, NASA is targeting no earlier than April 1st for the launch of the Artemis II mission around the Moon. More details: asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/news/artic…

By tracking ground movement from space, Canadian satellites are helping keep mining sites safe, and sustainable. 📷: Faro Mine site (Sentinel-1).

Roberta Bondar made history in 1992 as the first Canadian woman in space, proving that the sky is never the limit. Today, women continue to shape Canada’s space story, working on missions as astronauts, scientists, and engineers. 📷: NASA

From left to right: Ed Birchnall (Operations and training manager), Miranda Taylor, Roxanne Côté-Bigras, Lisa Campbell (CSA President), and Julie Winterburn.

The first all women team to support robotic operations from our Canadian Control Centre! Meet Roxanne Côté-Bigras, Miranda Taylor, and Julie Winterburn. They used Canadarm2 to grapple Japanese cargo vehicle HTV-X1 before its release. A great milestone for us! 🦾

The Pingo Canadian Landmark protects unique ice-core hills up to 70 m high and rich Arctic wildlife. Satellites are vital for monitoring these fragile formations and tracking climate change impacts across the Arctic. 📷 Sentinel-2 & ArcticDEM

Saturn almost disappears on this image from @NASAWebb. Methane gaz in its atmosphere absorbs most of the sunlight, making the planet look dark, while its icy rings shine bright around it. Learn more: asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronomy/… 📷: NASA, ESA, CSA
