Good morning Earth, from our Terra Nova satellite 🌎🛰️
Soon our Chronos payload comes online, to start testing our high res imagers and edge-AI capabilities. We can even start talking to Virgil, our onboard agent built to one day evolve into self-healing spacecraft systems. Much of Terra Nova’s hardware will be flying on our rockets, rovers, and future satellites. Stay tuned!

We stepped into the future today. Congratulations to @SpaceX for dazzling us all.
Last week, many students asked me how to gain design team experience if they weren't selected back in September.
You can join design teams outside of recruitment periods or even start your own. You can just do things - are you ready to put in the effort, though?

Mimas in front of Saturn, captured with Cassini by the Cassini Imaging Team 22 years ago today on November 7, 2004. The dark bands are the shadows of Saturn's rings on the planet's northern hemisphere, which had a blue tint during its late winter season.
Canada needs a lunar rover asap. Our team is locked in and making it happen.
Past midnight on a Friday night, and TVAC testing doesn’t stop in our Space Systems Lab. The @Nord_Space team is built different. It’s built to win 🇨🇦

Periodic reminder to watch this short video.
Dare to build, and dare to explore 🪐

The @Nord_Space rover team is finally moving to Rocket Factory 1!
Coincidentally, today marks my first year with the company! 🇨🇦🚀🤖
Imagine looking out the window and seeing your home planet as no other human ever has. 🌕🌎

Hard to overstate how vertically integrated @Nord_Space is. We're building for the long term, I'm super stoked for what's ahead for Canada 🇨🇦🚀
- Largest spaceport in Canada (by far)
- Only 100% Canadian owned spaceport in Canada
- Highest approved launch cadence in Canada
- Safety distances to closest towns actually allow for medium lift vehicles
- Vast majority privately funded
- Built to prioritize Canadian launch vehicles not foreign ones
- Does not rely on lobbying, push polls, and pay to play tricks

Computers were barely a thing and yet, they went to the Moon. We have no excuses.

We've got an amazing team @Nord_Space

In a few days, NordSpace’s very first satellite is headed to space. Proudly, it is carrying the names of many of the beautiful people at NordSpace who made this mission possible — including the handprint of my baby boy. His handprint in orbit this year, footprint on the surface of the Moon next year. I am grateful beyond words to my team and family. Godspeed, Terra Nova!
