The Canadian Space Agency is... launching a new initiative known as the Lunar Exploration Accelerator Program(LEAP). This program will prepare Canada's space sector for lunar exploration by offering a wide range of opportunities for Canadian science and technology activities in lunar orbit or on the Moon's surface. LEAP's objectives are to : enable Canadian businesses and academic institutions to develop and conduct science experiments designed for lunar conditions; advance and demonstrate innovative technologies on or around the Moon [and] evaluate potential deep-space medical technologies that will also provide direct benefits here on Earth. 2, record 2, English, - Lunar%20Exploration%20Accelerator%20Program

L'Agence spatiale canadienne lance [...] le Programme d'accélération de l'exploration lunaire. Dans le cadre de cette nouvelle initiative, le secteur spatial canadien aura de nombreuses possibilités de mener des activités scientifiques et technologiques en orbite autour de la Lune ou sur la surface lunaire. Le Programme d'accélération de l'exploration lunaire vise à : permettre aux entreprises et au milieu universitaire canadiens de mettre au point des expériences scientifiques et de les réaliser sur la Lune ou en orbite autour de la Lune; soutenir l'avancement de technologies novatrices et leur démonstration en vue de futures missions d'exploration lunaire [et] évaluer de possibles technologies médicales destinées à l'exploration de l'espace lointain, mais qui procureront aussi des avantages directs sur Terre. 3, record 2, French, - Programme%20d%27acc%C3%A9l%C3%A9ration%20de%20l%27exploration%20lunaire

The RADARSAT Constellation Mission(RCM) includes three identical Earth observation satellites and is a paradigm shift from previous RADARSAT missions. Instead of launching a single large, multi-year operations satellite, the capabilities of the system will be distributed across several small satellites, increasing revisit, and introducing a more robust, flexible system that can be maintained at lower cost and launched into orbit using less expensive launch vehicles. 1, record 3, English, - RADARSAT%20Constellation%20Mission

La mission de la Constellation RADARSAT (MCR) tire profit de trois satellites identiques d'observation de la Terre. Cette mission constitue un profond changement de paradigme par rapport aux missions RADARSAT antérieures. Au lieu de lancer un seul grand satellite en vue d'une exploitation pendant plusieurs années, les capacités du système seront réparties sur plusieurs petits satellites, ce qui aura pour effet de réduire l'intervalle de survol d'une même cible et de proposer un système plus robuste et plus souple pouvant être entretenu à faible coût et pouvant être mis sur orbite à l'aide de lanceurs moins onéreux. 1, record 3, French, - mission%20de%20la%20Constellation%20RADARSAT
