Maya HTT proposes an innovative machine learning technique that will provide more reliable thermal simulation models for investigating spacecraft operational scenarios and allow for the creation of a database of optical property changes that occur with exposure to the space environment.

This innovation will improve the correlation of thermal model predictions with spacecraft in-flight temperatures. The technique will build on data from computer thermal simulation models, developed during spacecraft development to predict on-orbit temperatures, which are used to ensure that the spacecraft components will operate within an acceptable temperature range during all phases of the mission. Using in-flight data from telemetry to determine changes to the optical properties of the external surfaces with machine learning algorithms will enhance the accuracy of the future predictions and provide more reliable simulation models.

The growing small satellite market calls for reliable, affordable launch services to get spacecraft to orbit quickly and safely, but the current availability of these services is limited.
To address this issue, Reaction Dynamics' launch vehicle is designed to provide launch services dedicated to transporting smaller payloads into orbit. The startup's technological breakthrough makes hybrid rocket engines feasible for orbital launch applications. These hybrid rocket engines reduce part count dramatically, enabling shorter lead times at significantly lower costs when compared to other technologies. The new launch vehicle will include state-of-the-art guidance, navigation, and thrust vector control to direct the thrust of its rocket engine and guide its own course to a specific orbit. Among other critical technologies, this contribution will support the development of a reliable, low-cost flight computer and software to autonomously control the launch vehicle during flight and test the system on the ground. It will also lead to spin-off technology applications for the automotive and aerospace industries, creating new business opportunities and jobs.

The project is implemented in Burkina Faso, Haiti, Kenya, Senegal, and Tanzania, as well as regionally in Anglophone and Francophone Africa, and globally through Equitas’ in-Canada annual International Human Rights Training Program involving participants from developing countries of all continents. Equitas also uses its online community as a key tool to share knowledge, lessons learned and best practices, promoting exchanges and collaboration amongst its alumni worldwide and in each region, as well as providing online training programs, all with a particular focus on advancing gender equality.

Woodland Caribou Restoration Project Phase 2: Pickell Creek/Black Creek Restoration Plan

Through the application of national and local priorities, the CSJ program seeks to provide youth who face barriers to employment with access to work opportunities. Funded employers must demonstrate that they are providing quality work experiences for youth that provide opportunities to develop and improve their skills. The CSJ program is delivered by the Department of ESD.

As eSight Eyewear continues to grow we've determined that expanding to the Germany, Sweden, Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia tapping into their medical device markets will help to increase our revenues.

Community Justice and Policing will hold three regional capacity-building workshops throughout the NWT. The workshops will bring trauma informed practice and provide facilitator training for Community Justice Coordinators and Committee Members with a focus on improved victim engagement and interviewing skills.

This project involves the installation of proven biomass heating or combined heat and power technology to displace fossil fuel use and reduce GHG emissions in a Canadian rural or remote community.

The mutually beneficial projects are expected to result in economic benefits to the company and to Canada and build impactful longer term collaborations between the applicant and the company.
