Title:
Exploiting the Euclid satellite data in Canada
Agreement Number:
22EXPROSS2
Agreement Value:
$150,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 27, 2023 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
Everyone is familiar with beautiful images from the Hubble Space Telescope, but each of those covers only any part of the sky. The Euclid satellite, scheduled for launch in 2023, will make images of similar quality to those from Hubble, but over about half of the entire sky. This will enable Euclid to investigate the nature of the dark energy and dark mater, as well as to understand how galaxies evolve through the history of the Universe.
This project will enable Euclid's goals and Legacy products by combining with space-based data available at longer wavelengths.
Organization:
Canadian Space Agency
Expected Results:
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.
