Le Programme d’environnement spatial comprend le développement de technologies destinées à la réalisation d’études scientifiques in situdu plasma spatial et du champ électromagnétique terrestre et contribue à une meilleure compréhension des phénomènes étudiés par la spatio-météorologie ainsi qu'à l'élaboration de modèles perfectionnés de ces phénomènes. Parmi les activités à appuyer dans ce domaine, mentionnons notre participation à des missions internationales; le projet CANOPUS(réseau de stations terrestres) et l'établissement d’un centre d’assimilation de données. 1, record 2, French, - centre%20d%26rsquo%3Bassimilation%20de%20donn%C3%A9es

Canadian Space Agency (CSA). CANOPUS: Canadian Auroral Network for the OPEN Program Unified Study. CANOPUS consists of a network of automatic data collection stations in West-Central Canada, transmitting data by satellite telemetry to a central data analysis centre in Ottawa, by means of which the powerful effects of solar activity on the ionosphere and upper atmosphere can be observed with minimum delay and studied in a systematic manner. CANOPUS was designed as an integral part of the Global Geospace Science Mission (GGS) organized by NASA as part of the International Solar-Terrestrial Physics Program (ISTP). CANOPUS was accepted by NASA as a component of GGS program on an equal footing with comprehensive sets of intruments on three on spacecraft (GEOTAIL, WIND and POLAR). The ISTP also includes the ESA CLUSTER satellites, SOHO and the Russian INTERBALL satellites ... The system name, CANOPUS, was originally an acronym based on the role of the project as a component experiment of the NASA OPEN program. OPEN has now been renamed GGS and integrated into the International Solar Terrestrial Physics program which involves NASA, ESA and ISAS (the Japanese Space Agency). Since the project has become widely known as CANOPUS the name has been retained to avoid any possible confusion. 1, record 3, English, - CANOPUS%20Project

Agence spatiale canadienne(ASC). CANOPUS(Réseau auroral canadien pour le programme d’étude unifiée OPEN). CANOPUS consiste en une batterie d’instruments automatiques terrestres situés dans le nord canadien et qui transmettent leurs données par satellite à un centre d’analyse. CANOPUS fut conçu comme une partie intégrale du programme ISTP(programme international de physique solaire-terrestre) et fut accepté par la NASA comme une composante de ce programme et sur une base égale a celle des 30 expériences réparties sur 4 vaisseaux spatiaux. Le nom CANOPUS était à l'origine un sigle basé sur le rôle du projet OPEN de la NASA dont il faisait partie intégrale. Bien que OPEN fut rebaptisé GGS et intégré au programme ISTP qui comprend aussi la NASA, la ESA(Agence spatiale européenne) et la ISA(Agence spatiale japonaise), le nom CANOPUS, devenu notoire, fut gardé pour éviter toute confusion. 1, record 3, French, - CANOPUS%20Project
