Canadians Who Have Helped in Space Technology Lloyd Pinkney- Created the Space Vision

System Chris Hadfield- Helped install the

Canadarm2 Julie Payette- In 1998, she was assigned

to work on technical issues in robotics for the Astronaut Office.

More Canadians Who Have Helped in Space Technology Dave Williams- Was in a mission which

activated a new system that lets docked Shuttles draw electrical power from the Station to extend visits to the outpost.

Bjarni Tryggvason- Project engineer for the Space Vision System Target Spacecraft.

Steve Maclean- First tested the Space Vision System in 1992.

Technology in Space The first satellite was launched in 1962. After that we became the third country

in the world to have a satellite built and design by Canadians in space.

It operated for a decade and it made Canadian scientists the leaders in the upper atmosphere.

The Space Vision System This is designed so astronauts can view

the conditions of space. It provides information on the exact

location, position and motion of a specific thing.

This helps astronauts do tasks in the extreme lighting conditions.

Today, it is used on the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station.

Canadarm 1and 2 Canadarm helps astronauts to easily lift

shuttles to the space station for repair. Canadarm 2 helps build things.
