We are a little late for May the 4th on this one, but did you know about all of the research happening in Manitoba related to space? From studying potential life on Mars, to developing multi-million dollar equipment, Manitoba plays a substantial role in both the theoretical and the practical aspects of studying deep space.
Thanks to the involvement of @Mitacs, we are also able to support multiple students accessing space as part of their career path forward.
