Milestones in Canadian Space Year Date Event 1962 September 29 Alouette 1 is launched making Canada the third Country to launch a satellite into space. 1972 September 30 Alouette 1 is shut down after 10 years of activity, 9 years longer than planned. 1974 NASA agrees to have Canada design and build the Space Shuttle Remote Manipulator System (RMS), later to become known as Canadarm. 1981 November 13 The first flight of the Canadarm on STS-2. The arm is run through a series of tests to verify its ability. 1983 December 5 The first six Canadians to be chosen as astronauts are announced. They are: Marc Garneau, Roberta Bondar, Steve MacLean, Robert (Bob) Thirsk, Bjarni Tryggvason and Ken Money. 1984 October 5-13 Marc Garneau becomes the first Canadian in space aboard the space shuttle Challenger on mission STS-41G. 1986 January 28 The Space Shuttle Challenger explodes killing all 7 astronauts. Canadarm # 2 is lost. 1986 May The Canadian Space Agency Astronaut office is created. 1989 March 1 The Canadian Space Agency is created. 1992 January 22-30 Roberta Bondar becomes the second Canadian, and the first female Canadian to go into space. Dr. Bondar flew as a payload specialist aboard the space shuttle Discovery on mission STS-42 (IML- 1). 1992 June 8 The second class of Canadian astronauts are selected. The four new astronauts are: Chris Hadfield, Julie Payette, Dave Williams and Robert Stewart. Stewart would decline the offer and be replaced by Mike McKay. 1992 July Astronaut Ken Money retires from the Canadian Astronaut Office to return to his position as senior scientist at DCIEM, where he was involved in pilot disorientation research and space science. Although he was the back-up for Roberta Bondar, he never flew in space. 1992 July 3 Astronauts Marc Garneau and Chris Hadfield are selected by CSA to become the first Canadian mission specialist. They move to Houston to live and train. 1992 September 4 Roberta Bondar retires from the Canadian Astronaut Office to return to her research. 1992 October 22 – Steve Maclean becomes the third Canadian in November 1 space aboard the space shuttle Columbia on mission STS-52. One of Steve’s main objectives was to test a new Canadian invention, called the Space Vision System (SVS). 1994 July 8-23 Marc Garneau becomes the first non-American CapCom (Capsule Communicator). 1995 November 12-20 Chris Hadfield becomes the fourth Canadian to go into space when he flies on STS-74. STS-74’s main mission was to deliver a docking node to the Russian space station MIR. This mission makes Chris the first Canadian to fly as a mission specialist, the only Canadian to visit the MIR space station and the first Canadian to operate the Canadarm. 1996 May 19-29 Marc Garneau becomes the first Canadian to fly in space twice, when he flies on STS-77(Endeavour). Marc is the second Canadian to operate the Canadarm. 1996 June 20- July 7 Bob Thirsk becomes the fifth Canadian in space when he flies aboard the space shuttle Columbia on mission STS-78. This mission sets a record for the longest duration for a shuttle flight at 16 days, 21 hours, 47 minutes. 1997 August 7-19 Bjarni Tryggvason is the last of the original six Canadian astronauts to fly in space. He flies aboard the space shuttle Discovery on mission STS-85. This makes Bjarni the sixth Canadian in space. Bjarni’s main task is to test a Canadian invention called the Microgravity Isolation Mount (MIM). 1998 April 17 – May 3 Dave Williams becomes the seventh Canadian in space aboard the space shuttle Columbia on mission STS-90 (Neaurolab). This mission studies the effects of weightlessness on the nervous system.

Dr. Williams is the first non-American to hold this position. 1999 May 27 – June 6 Julie Payette becomes the eighth Canadian in space and the first to visit the International Space Station (ISS). Her mission, aboard the space shuttle Discovery on mission STS-96, is a re- supply mission for the soon to be occupied ISS. 2000 November 30 – Marc Garneau becomes the first Canadian to fly December 11 three times in space aboard the space shuttle Endeavour on mission STS-97. Marc acts as flight engineer and get the chance to visit the ISS. This is Marc’s final flight. 2001 February 1 Dr. Garneau is appointed Executive Vice President of the Canadian Space Agency. 2001 November 22 Dr. Garneau is appointed President of the Canadian Space Agency. 2002 February 25 Steve MacLean is assigned to fly as a mission specialist on mission STS-115. He will become the first Canadian to operate the Canadarm2, and the second Canadian to perform an extra vehicular activity (EVA) or spacewalk. 2002 June 5 The second part of the Canadian-built MSS, the Mobile Base System, was launched to the ISS aboard the shuttle Endeavour on STS-111. Six days later, the 1,450-kg. work platform was operational after being attached to the station's U.S.-built Mobile Transporter. The transporter and the Mobile Base System will carry Canadarm2 and various experiments, tools, structures and equipment to where they are needed on the station. 2002 December 12 Dr. Dave Williams is assigned as a mission specialist on mission STS-118. The crew will be adding a truss segment and solar panels to the ISS. 2003 February 1 The Space Shuttle Columbia fails to return from mission STS-107. Columbia broke up during re- entry over Texas en route to landing at Kennedy Space Center, Fla. The STS-107 crewmembers -- Commander Rick Husband, Pilot Willie McCool, Mission Specialists Michael Anderson, Dave Brown, Laurel Clark and Kalpana Chawla and Payload Specialist Ilan Ramon of Israel -- were returning home after a successful 16-day scientific research mission. 2003 June 30 MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of STars) became Canada's first scientific satellite in more than 30 years when it was launched atop a Russian launch vehicle. MOST, a suitcase sized telescope will measure a stars oscillations and search for extrasolar planets and information on stars that will help scientists better determine the age of the universe. A tiny nanosatellite called CanX-1 built by University of Toronto students to demonstrate technologies was launched at the same time. 2003 August 12 SCISAT, a Canadian-built satellite designed to probe the changes that take place in the ozone layer and other parts of the Earth's upper atmosphere. Launched by a Pegasus booster dropped from an aircraft offshore from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. 2005 August 9 Mission STS-114, the return of the space shuttle. (Discovery). This first shuttle flight after the Columbia disaster of 2003 featured the first use of a Canadian-built boom extension to the Canadarm that was designed to inspect the shuttle's underside for damage to its insulation tiles. Damage of this type led to the loss of Columbia. 2006 September 9 Mission STS-115. Canadian astronaut Steve Mclean makes his second trip into space. Mission STS-115 continues the construction of the ISS by installing the P3/P4 solar panels. On mission STS- 115 Steve Maclean becomes the second Canadian to perform an EVA and the first Canadian to operate the Canadarm2. 2007 August 4 NASA's launches the Phoenix lander to Mars .

    El Astronauta Jeremy Hansen Presenta Sello Canadabrazo Para Celebrar Los Logros De Canadá En La Robótica, La Ciencia Y La Tecnología

    El astronauta Jeremy Hansen presenta sello Canadabrazo para celebrar los logros de Canadá en la robótica, la ciencia y la tecnología Aproximadamente a las 9 pm EST, el 13 de noviembre de 1981, el Canadabrazo se despliega desde la bahía de carga del transbordador Columbia por primera vez. Esta maravilla de la ingeniería canadiense pesaba menos de 480 kilogramos, y podría levantar más de 30.000 kilogramos - El peso aproximado de un autobús de la ciudad - usando menos energía que un hervidor eléctrico. “El brazo está fuera y funciona muy bien. Sus movimientos son mucho más flexibles que aparecieron durante las simulaciones de entrenamiento “, el astronauta Richard informó verdad para el Control de Misión. Una hora más tarde, como el traslado voló sobre los EE.UU., las primeras imágenes fueron transmitidas al suelo: un gigante brazo doblado en una forma de V invertida, situado por encima de la bahía de carga de la lanzadera, con el Canadá wordmark claramente visible en su lado. Una historia de innovación Canadiense para inspirar a las generaciones futuras Podría decirse logro más famoso robot de Canadá, la primera Canadabrazo fue construido en el año 1974 a través de una colaboración entre Spar, CAE, DSMA Atcon y el Consejo Nacional de Investigación (NRC). Los primeros pasos se produjo en 1969, cuando la NASA vio por primera vez un robot desarrollado por la empresa canadiense DSMA Atcon diseñado para cargar combustible en los reactores nucleares. Una propuesta de un brazo robótico para desplegar y recuperar el hardware de la bodega de carga del transbordador espacial fue redactado poco después.

    THE ENGINEERING INSTITUTE OF CANADA and its member societies L'Institut canadien des ingénieurs et ses sociétés membres EIC’s Historical Notes and Papers Collection (Compilation of historical articles, notes and papers previously published as Articles, Cedargrove Series, Working Papers or Journals) ENGINEERING HISTORY PAPER #92 “150 Years of Canadian Engineering: Timelines for Events and Achievements” by Andrew H. Wilson (previously produced as Cedargrove Series #52/2019 – May 2019) *********************** EIC HISTORY AND ARCHIVES *********************** © EIC 2019 PO Box 40140, Ottawa ON K1V 0W8 +1 (613) 400-1786 / [email protected] / http://www.eic-ici.ca THE CEDARGROVE SERIES OF DISCOURSES, MEMOIRS AND ESSAYS #52/2019 150 YEARS OF CANADIAN ENGINEERING: TIMELINES FOR EVENTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS by Andrew H. Wilson May 2019 Abstract The research for this paper was done as part of a sesquicentennial project on 150 Years of Canadian Engineering. Some of its material has also been presented orally. This paper covers briefly and selectively Canadian engineering events and achievements in four time periods: one up to the time of Confederation in 1867, and three others between then and 2017. Associated with the three later periods are corresponding economic/political/social timelines to help put the engineering in context. There are no comments in it on the quality of the design, construction/manufacture, origins and uses of the items listed. This paper took a whole lot longer than expected to research and write, so that it carries a date in 2019 rather than late in 2017, when the chronological material in it ends. There are no maps or photographs.
