Conference
Canada
London, Ontario

Given the current uncertain situation, we are investigating rescheduling SNAC2020. Once the revised dates have been confirmed, we will post them and send out an announcement.

The utilization of space underpins much of modern society, including enabling GPS location, accurately time-stamping ATM activities, connecting distant communities, and tracking severe weather. As a result, A New Space Strategy for Canada (2019) identifies space as a strategic national asset. The goals of this conference-workshop are to bring together the stakeholders from universities, government, industry, and community organizations that develop and utilize space to assess the current status of space infrastructure and identify future needs for Canada.
