#MoonJoy was in full effect during the #ArtemisII crew’s visit to Canada this week. 🌕🇨🇦
What stood out most wasn’t just the mission, but the humanity and camaraderie behind it. Big, ambitious goals are achieved through teamwork, humility, and taking care of one another every step of the way.
Thank you to @spacecanada and the @csa_asc for hosting such an inspiring event last evening with some of this generation’s greatest heroes. @Astro_Jeremy@astro_reid@Astro_Christina@Astro_Jenni@AstroVicGlover
Today, we’re focusing on the future of Canada’s space sector! The CSA is hosting @spacecanada's #Horizons2026, a conference that will bring together industry government and academic representatives for a day of exchange, innovation, and collaboration.
We are supporting research in space astronomy, planetary exploration and lunar exploration. Eligible teams can apply by August 21 for funding to drive their research and train the next generation.

Telesat and Canadian Strategic Missions Corporation (@csmc_scms) have signed a strategic collaboration agreement to explore how advanced satellite connectivity can support next-gen energy systems.
CSMC is developing scalable micro nuclear reactors designed to deliver reliable power in remote environments. Supporting these kinds of critical operations is exactly what the Telesat Lightspeed network is designed to do, with resilient, secure, low latency connectivity available globally.

Every time I look up at the Moon now, even the one at Space Center Houston, it feels different.
It’s no longer just a distant light in the night sky — it’s a place I’ve studied up close with my own eyes. I find myself tracing its features, recognizing the shadows, the craters, the quiet stories written across its surface.
The Moon hasn’t changed, but now when I observe it, it comes back to life in my mind with a new and treasured perspective.
We are honoured to be named the winner of the Aqualunar Challenge. Thank you to the @csa_asc and @Astro_Jeremy for this announcement. It is a testament to the hardworking and dedication of the CSMC team to deliver key capabilities for Canada and its allies that build the foundational building blocks of our presence on the moon and beyond.
"We launched as friends, and we came back as best friends."

"We will always choose each other."
Mission control has reacquired signal with the Artemis II crew after the mission’s planned loss of signal. Our astronauts are once again using the Deep Space Network to keep conversation and science data flowing between space and Earth.
The Artemis II crew broke the distance record set by Apollo 13 in 1970, traveling 406,773 km from Earth. @astro_jenni marked the milestone from Mission Control’s capcom console, while @astro_jeremy spoke on behalf of the crew.
