Abstract:

The Centre for Planetary Science and Exploration (CPSX) at 深夜福利站 proposes to capture the excitement and interest in the exploration of space to develop Canada’s first integrated learning program in Space Science and Exploration. Space science is truly interdisciplinary and it touches on all aspects of our everyday lives. At the same time, the design of spacecraft and space systems represent one of the most challenging engineering feats of our time. Because of this, Space Science and Exploration, ignites interest and motivates young minds to pursue education and careers in the sciences, engineering and high-tech sectors. Funding from this IDI will support 3 key aspects of the integrated training program: 
 

  • Planetary Science undergraduate degree

  • Professional Masters in Space Science and Exploration

  • Collaborative Graduate Program in Planetary Science and Exploration
