Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Advanced Laser Joining Techniques for Cryogenic Compatible Materials
22STDPQ05
The development of small launch vehicles and modern spacecraft requires manufacturing ultra light-weight tanks to support ever-increasing performance requirements. Additionally, expanding commercialization continually requires reducing costs, reducing production time, and increasing design flexibility and agility.
This project aims to develop novel laser welding practises and processes in order to produce lightweight and structurally rigid stainless-steel tanks for cryogenic storage, which are more cost-effective and agile compared to current options. The development of new core manufacturing technologies can be applied to future space applications (both satellites and human exploration), as well as cryogenic hydrogen storage for commercial airplanes and prismatic liquid natural gas (LNG) carriers for bulk transport of energy commodities on Earth.

C6 STARS (Space Transmission and Reception System) towards TRL-6
20STDPK21
(20STDPK21) As the commercial small-sat market grows, new affordable systems are needed to maintain high-performance communication links between launch vehicles, satellites, and data relay systems. As such, C6 Launch Systems has designed, built, and tested a prototype phased-array and transceiver system that allows spacecraft to electronically steer radio beams towards earth and space-based stations to provide high-performance data links.

As the commercial space market grows, new systems and technology are needed to launch small satellites and maintain communication links between launch vehicles and ground stations. Current dish-like antennas need to point directly at their target, and are too large and heavy for use on small satellite launch vehicles.
This project will study the potential for a new, low-cost antenna and transceiver that electronically steers radio signals without having to move the antenna. The lightweight, simplified design concept will improve communications from launch pad to low Earth orbit, provide higher data rates, and require less power to operate. This innovative project will position Canadian industry as leaders in space launch systems, offering low cost, mass production of small satellite launch vehicles and communication systems for the emerging commercial market.
