Grants and Contributions

The objective of this project is to test hypotheses and experiment with new mechanisms in order to design reproducible and scalable processes that could lead to new business methods in the field of software package consulting.

With the advancement of Low-Earth Orbit Constellation missions and a higher focus towards more New Space/demonstration type missions, we believe at MDA Space that there is a real need and advantage to decrease the costs and mass of traditional solar array assemblies. To develop this technology in Canada reduces the reliance of the Canadian space sector towards American and European solar array providers. Furthermore, it would create more work on this side of the border, it would increase MDA Space’s competitiveness on the global space industry market, and it has the potential to help enable missions that weren’t closing within certain budget constraints by improving by a significant margin one of the biggest cost centers on a numerical satellite such as MDA AURORA™. More specifically, the proposed research and development work would increase the technology readiness level of a lightweight solar array comprised of a flexible substrate onto which the solar cells/modules are bonded or encapsulated, and a deployment mechanism of the type of pantograph with simple pivots and a simple cost actuator, which get validated through various breadboards and a representative prototype that undergoes environmental testing.

The purpose of this Project is to increase awareness, availability and use of lower carbon vehicles and fuels in Canada by supporting the installation of 61 electric vehicle chargers in British Columbia

The purpose of this contribution is to enhance the security of the project site by purchasing and installing a keypad module enhancement, glass break detectors, photoelectric smoke detectors, gooseneck microphone communication system, wireless panic button installation, closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, video camera intercom, and through the provision of security personnel, which will aid in the prevention and mitigation of the harm caused by potential incidents of hate motivated crime against the synagogue.

This contribution supports the National Indigenous Residential School Museum of Canada to host a plaque unveiling event related to their National Historic Site designation through the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.
