The program provides funding in three main areas:
- Research
- Support space-related research and development in CSA priority areas, and targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance Canada’s capacity to use space to meet the country’s future needs and priorities.
- Space awareness
- Raise awareness of Canadian space science and technology by increasing the interest of Canadian youth and educators and their participation in related activities.
- Space learning
- Provide learning opportunities to Canadian students, educators and physicians in various space-related disciplines.
