Grants and Contributions:
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
Objective 1: Assess the effect of
spaceflight, exercises, activity, sleep
and mental health on changes in
cardiovascular function.
Objective 2: Test if the Bio-Monitor
system can provide physiological data in
sufficient amount and quality to support
the Artemis platform.
Objective 3: Test if Artemis computing
platform can support data acquisition and
transmission from the Bio-Monitor system.
Objective 4: Test extensions to McGregor's
Artemis computing platform to demonstrate
its potential for in-situ autonomous
cardiovascular deconditioning health
monitoring.
Objective 5: Perform a ground assessment
of the Artemis computing platform for
real-time cardiovascular deconditioning
health monitoring using Bio-Monitor data
acquired on the ISS.
Objective 6: Test algorithms to measure
the impact of adaptation in near real-time
and acquire new knowledge on
cardiovascular deconditioning health risks
associated with the spaceflight
environment.
This program supports knowledge development and innovation in the CSA's priority areas while increasing the awareness and participation of Canadians in space-related disciplines and activities.
The Research Component aims to support the development of science and technology; foster the continual development of a critical mass of researchers and highly qualified people in Canada; and support information gathering and space-related studies and research pertaining to Canadian Space Agency priorities.
