Wannabe astronauts attending the Telus World of Science Edmonton (TWOS) S.P.A.C.E explorers camp came away inspired after a virtual presentation from the Canadian Space Agency on Tuesday.
They linked up with Magdalena Wierus, a Project Engineer on the RADARSAT Constellation Mission, for a video conference.
She spoke to students in Edmonton for 30 minutes from the CSA headquarters in Saint-Hubert, Quebec about the International Space Station and Canada’s contribution to the program.
Wierus also explored and promoted exciting science and technology careers available beyond being an astronaut.
