Canada is playing no small part in some of the headline space projects that made aspiring scientists starry-eyed again in 2022, with major milestones yet to come. But Canadian space experts are waiting to see if an influx in federal investment will continue despite domestic economic pressures.
When Nathalie Nguyen-Quoc Ouellette was young, she didn't see many stars in the bright skies over Montreal. But she would pore over the colourful, otherworldly images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and dream of becoming an astrophysicist.
The telescope, which sent its first dazzling images back to Earth in July, includes two Canadian components, and Canadian researchers are among those busy parsing its findings. The Artemis I flight, which saw the Orion spacecraft slip into a temporary lunar orbit, returned to Earth on Sunday after a successful launch Nov. 16.
"Some of the images from Artemis I have just blown me away," he said. "As someone who wasn't alive during Apollo, seeing these images in real time is amazing. And so I think that's going to be very inspirational, that mission."
