Craig SailaToday marks the 35th anniversary of the #CanadianSpaceAgency
Though young by comparison to agencies like #NASA, #CSA has contributed significantly to our adventures in #space, including: creating #Canadarm 1 & 2 (a.k.a., #SRMS/#SSMS); supporting the construction of #ISS; a planned rover for #Artemis; as well as a big commitment to help build the #LunarGateway (thru Canadarm 3)

History of the Canadian Space Agency - New Space Economy
The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) was established on March 1, 1989, under the Canadian Space Agency Act passed by the Parliament of Canada. This marked a significant milestone in Canada's space history, formalizing the country's commitment to space exploration and technology. Prior to the formation of the CSA, Canada had already made notable contributions to space technology, including the creation of the Alouette 1 satellite in 1962, which made Canada the third country to design and build its own satellite.
