Whereas the “great space powers” of the period, the United States and Soviet Union, held a dominant position in the space environment, Canada’s space power influence declined over the years. By analyzing declassified strategic documents and the strategic literature on space power, and by interviewing members of Canada’s national space organizations, this thesis will compare the strategic, political and economic variables that make a space power to determine why Canada did not maintain space supremacy when compared with the United States and Soviet Union from 1957 to 1991.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the selection of LCol Kutryk and Jennifer Sidey to the Canadian Space Agency (CSA)’s astronaut program on Canada Day. LCol Kutryk had just been appointed 4 Wing Operations Officer a few days before the announcement. Prior to that, he had been Officer Commanding 410 Squadron’s Fighter Operational Test and Evaluation Flight. LCol Kutryk says there is a culture that’s “specific to the fighter force, and maybe to the air force writ large,” that fits well with the astronaut program. “You definitely find a certain type of person. You find people who are comfortable operating complex equipment like the CF-18, but you also find academic interests – people with an engineering or science background,” he said. “You often find people who are good at working in these operational environments, be they combat or flight tests or whatever your example is.

LA REVUE DE L’AVIATION ROYALE CANADIENNE est une publication officielle du Commandant de l’Aviation royale canadienne (ARC) publiée sur une base trimestrielle. Il s’agit d’une tribune permettant d’échanger sur les concepts, les questions et les idées centrales et cruciales en lien avec la puissance aérienne et spatiale. La Revue a pour vocation de disséminer les idées et les points de vue, non seulement des membres de l’ARC, mais aussi des civils qui s’intéressent aux questions relatives à la puissance aérienne et spatiale. Les articles peuvent traiter de la portée de la doctrine de la force aérienne, de la formation, du leadership, des leçons retenues et des opérations passées, présentes ou futures de la force aérienne. On accepte également des articles sur des sujets connexes tels que l’éthique, la technologie et l’historique de la force aérienne. Cette revue est donc destinée à permettre l’expression d’une pensée professionnelle mature sur l’art et la science de la guerre aérienne et joue un rôle clé au sein de la vie intellectuelle de l’ARC. Elle sert de véhicule de formation continue et de perfectionnement professionnel pour le personnel militaire de tous les grades, ainsi que pour les membres d’autres forces et les employés d’organismes gouvernementaux et d’universités qui s’intéressent aux questions liées à la force aérienne.
