Agreement Value:
$190,095.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 31, 2023 - Jan 31, 2026
Description:
This project will support the development of CubeSat re-entry technology to increase Canadian industrial capabilities of space technology, democratize the return of materials from space, and support the reusability of the satellite technology. The purpose of this project is to assess the effects of temperature in the re-entry process and determine the required form factor for CubeSats to safely return to earth. The Canadian population will benefit from supporting a Canadian technology company in increasing its product applications in the growing space market and allow for universities and their students to increase the various use cases of CubeSat research.
