Canadian Space Agency Prepares for Busy Six Months of Industry Events

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is seemingly doing more industry events these past few years than in the past, and the next six months will see up six events scheduled.

The upcoming events are:

September 16 – 20: CSA 2019 Fall Industry days – Canadian industry stakeholders will have the opportunity to explore the Lunar Gateway Program and meet with international primes to discuss potential partnerships at CSA Headquarters in Saint-Hubert. QC. More information released coming soon.
October 17 – 18: CSA International Industry Days – Canadian industry will have the opportunity to meet with representatives of German and Brazilian space industries, governments and military at CSA Headquarters in Saint-Hubert, QC. More information released coming soon.
October 21 – 25: International Astronautical Congress (IAC) 2019 – Satellite Canada Innovation Network Inc. (SatCan) is leading the Canada Pavilion at the 70th International Astronautical Congress 2019 being held in Washington, DC. Over 4,000 people are expected as the Americans put on a show for the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon mission.
February 2020: Investment Space 2020 – The inaugural InvestmentSpace event last February was very successful so the CSA is planning the next edition for February 2020. Exact dates and location TBC.

The CSA is also planning possible delegations to Australia and Japan depending on industry interest.

Australia: GEO Ministerial, 4-9 November 2019, Canberra

Last year, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Australian Space Agency (ASA) that establishes a cooperative framework for joint activities, exchange of expertise, greater cooperation in the areas of research and development, academic exchange and industry collaboration. In line with the agreement, the CSA is considering a mission to Australia on the margins of the Group on Earth Observation (GEO) Ministerial Summit and Industry Track (detailed information attached) in Canberra. This could take various forms, including 1) Outreach Program and 2) Booth where you can exhibit your products. In addition, GEO events may provide opportunities to network with potential Asian partners and with the Digital Africa Initiative. If there is enough interest, the CSA could work with Trade Commissioner Service in Australia to develop an outreach program, including meetings with Australia Space Agency senior officials and B2Bs with Australian companies. Expo space (Canada Booth) during GEO week could be arranged if there is enough interest from the Canadian space industry.

For 2019 the GEO Secretariat is introducing a new Associate Member category designed to encourage industry's participation in GEO. Associate Members would be invited to participate in GEO Plenaries, thus providing insights into the data and information needs of the GEO community to potentially inform investments and gain access to market opportunities in the GEO member states. Canada's lead for GEO, Environment and Climate Change Canada, would have to provide Canadian companies with a Letter of Support to become an Associate Member (the CSA could facilitate this process).

Would you be interested in participating in this mission? YES/NO
Would you be interested in participating in a Canadian booth at the Expo? YES/NO
Would you be interested in becoming a GEO Associate Member? YES/NO

Japan: Option 1 – CSA-led Mission and attendance to DSEI, 18-19 November 2019, Chiba and Tokyo

This potential mission could be co-organized between CSA and Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI), and would include participation to the DSEI and access to Canadian Pavilion organized by CADSI . DSEI Japan would be an important defence event and will bring together participants from the global defence and security sector, as well as the Japanese defence community to explore partnerships, innovative projects and share knowledge. The CSA could work with Trade Commissioner Service Tokyo to develop an additional space-focused outreach program to include site visits and meetings with senior JAXA officials and Japanese industry sector organisations, on the margins of DSEI event.

Would you be interested to participate in this mission? YES/NO
Would you be interested to be part of CADSI Canadian Pavilion during DSEI event: YES/NO

Japan: Option 2 – CSA-led Stand Alone Mission (end of January – early February 2020), Tokyo

The CSA could develop a space-focused outreach program with the Trade Commissioner Service to include site visits and meetings with senior JAXA officials and Japanese industry sector organisations; the approximate duration of this mission would be 1 week.

Would you be interested to participate in this mission? YES/NO

If interested in the Australia or Japan opportunities, the CSA was looking for responses to these questions by last Friday emailed to asc.relationsindustrie-industryrelations.csa@canada.ca. As well they were asking you to include specific areas of interest (your interested in) to ensure that outreach programs and meetings with foreign government officials are relevant to your needs.

Le gouvernement attribue un contrat pour la conception d’une installation destinée aux futurs chasseurs à Cold Lake
Le 27 août 2020 – Ottawa (Ontario) – Défense nationale/Forces armées canadiennes Comme énoncé dans sa politique de défense Protection, Sécurité, Engagement, le gouvernement du Canada fournit aux membres du personnel des Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) les installations et les outils requis pour soutenir leurs opérations dans l'avenir. Aujourd'hui, l'honorable Harjit S. Sajjan, ministre de la Défense nationale, a annoncé l'attribution d'un contrat de 9,2 M$ à l'entreprise EllisDon Construction Services Inc. d'Edmonton (Alberta) pour la conception d'une installation destinée aux nouveaux chasseurs à la 4e Escadre Cold Lake, l'une des deux principales bases d'opérations pour les futurs chasseurs du Canada. On prévoit également l'attribution d'un autre contrat pour la construction d'une seconde installation à la 3e Escadre Bagotville. Ces infrastructures permettront d'assurer l'entretien et l'exploitation à long terme des 88 nouveaux avions acquis par l'Aviation royale canadienne (ARC) dans le cadre du Projet de capacité future en matière d'avions chasseurs (PCFAC). L'attribution de ce contrat permet de franchir une étape importante pour préparer Cold Lake à accueillir les nouveaux chasseurs, et constitue un pas de plus vers l'atteinte de notre objectif de fournir à nos aviateurs les infrastructures dont ils auront besoin dans l'avenir. Les deux projets d'infrastructure permettront également de générer d'importantes retombées économiques dans l'industrie canadienne de la construction et de stimuler l'économie régionale à Bagotville et à Cold Lake. Au total, plus de 900 emplois devraient être créés dans le cadre des travaux de conception et de construction des deux installations. L'infrastructure de Cold Lake hébergera deux escadrons d'appui tactique. Avec une superficie d'environ 19 300 m2, elle fournira l'espace nécessaire pour les opérations quotidiennes, l'entretien, l'administration, la planification de mission et l'entrainement sur simulateur. Elle abritera également des escadrons d'entrainement opérationnel et d'appui tactique et leurs installations d'entrainement. Citations « Nous investissons dans cette infrastructure moderne qui abritera nos futurs chasseurs, car nous savons qu'il est essentiel d'assurer la protection et la sécurité des Canadiens et de respecter les obligations internationales du Canada envers le NORAD et l'OTAN. Une flotte de chasseurs modernes est essentielle pour défendre notre pays et notre souveraineté, et ces installations sont indispensables au succès de ces operations. » L'honorable Harjit S. Sajjan, ministre de la Défense nationale « Ce projet d'infrastructure constitue un investissement important dans l'avenir des Forces armées canadiennes et de la communauté de Cold Lake. La construction de cette installation permettra de maintenir les emplois à proximité de la Base, et de s'assurer que nos forces militaires sont bien outillées pour affronter l'avenir. » Mme Anita Vandenbeld, secrétaire parlementaire du ministre de la Défense nationale Faits en bref Nous prévoyons attribuer le contrat pour la conception de l'installation destinée aux nouveaux chasseurs à Bagotville en septembre 2020. Le début des travaux de construction aux deux bases est prévu à l'été 2022. Les deux contrats de conception comprendront des options pour la construction des nouvelles installations, ainsi que de toute infrastructure supplémentaire requise en fonction de l'avion choisi, si le Canada décidait d'exercer ces options de prolongation. En attribuant ces contrats de conception des infrastructures avant de choisir les futurs chasseurs, nous pourrons commencer les travaux nécessaires, quel que soit l'avion choisi. Ainsi, les deux escadres seront prêtes pour la livraison des premiers appareils. Ces installations seront conçues et construites de manière à respecter la désignation LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Argent et à incorporer autant de mesures efficaces sur le plan énergétiques que possible.
