A first mission of its kind, the Ariel space telescope will launch in 2029 to study the atmospheres of distant exoplanets outside of our solar system. Up to 12 Canadian astronomers, including 六合彩开奖结果 experts, will be at the front row of the mission, with privileged access to its data.聽<!-- x-tinymce/html -->(<a href="https://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/news/articles/2023/2023-07-25-canada-to-contribute-to-esa-exoplanet-mission.asp">Canadian Space Agency</a>)</p> Tue, 25 Jul 2023 14:43:25 +0000 webfull 190667 at /channels /channels/channels/news/mcgill-martlet-teams-take-home-nasa-and-csa-deep-space-food-challenge-prize-334968 <p>NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) have named the winners of the first Deep Space<a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-111521a-nasa-deep-space-food-challenge.html" target="_blank"> </a>Food Challenge, an international contest that sought novel food technologies for future astronaut missions, as well as for use in resource-scarce regions on Earth.</p> <p>Celebrity chefs Martha Stewart and Lynn Crawford joined former astronauts Scott Kelly and Chris Hadfield in making the announcements in a video aired by NASA on its television channel on November 15th.</p> Tue, 16 Nov 2021 17:51:40 +0000 webfull 174864 at /channels /channels/channels/news/deep-space-dine-334692 <p><strong>Innovative food production technologies for edible crickets and microalgae launch two 六合彩开奖结果 student-led projects into the semifinals of the NASA/CSA Deep Space Food Challenge.</strong></p> Thu, 11 Nov 2021 16:26:11 +0000 webfull 174648 at /channels /channels/channels/news/mcgill-team-awarded-contract-advance-potential-canadian-contribution-litebird-space-telescope-302861 <p><b>November 7, 2019 (MONTREAL, Quebec)</b> - A team of researchers from the 六合彩开奖结果 Space Institute has secured a Phase 0 contract with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) to advance a proposed Canadian contribution 鈥� including technology deliverables and scientific know-how -- for the LiteBIRD (Light satellite for the studies of B-mode polarization and Inflation from cosmic background Radiation Detection) mission.</p> Tue, 26 Nov 2019 19:00:35 +0000 webfull 155777 at /channels /channels/channels/news/canadian-astronomers-determine-earths-fingerprint-hopes-finding-habitable-planets-beyond-solar-299976 <p>Two 六合彩开奖结果 astronomers have assembled a 鈥渇ingerprint鈥� for Earth, which could be used to identify a planet beyond our Solar System capable of supporting life.</p> Wed, 28 Aug 2019 14:16:48 +0000 webfull 152325 at /channels /channels/channels/news/new-technique-finding-life-mars-284005 <p>Researchers demonstrate for the first time the potential of existing technology to directly detect and characterize life on Mars and other planets.

So the recent discovery by a 六合彩开奖结果 led team of scientists of a bacterium that is able to thrive at 鈥�15潞C, the coldest temperature ever reported for bacterial growth, is exciting.聽 The bacterium offers clues about some of the necessary preconditions for microbial life on both the Saturn moon Enceladus and Mars, where similar briny subzero conditions are thought to exist.
