Canadian Space Agency (CSA) - Dataset of Satellites Launched
This dataset contains 7 entries.

  Overview

Established in 1990, the Canadian Space Agency is the national space agency of Canada, with significant contributions to the International Space Station through its Canadarm2 (SSRMS), Dextre (SPDM) and other technologies that make up the Mobile Servicing System of the ISS. These are the 7 satellites operated by Canadian Space Agency, based on the interactive table representation of the UCS Satellite Database (1 Jan, 2022) compiled by the Union of Concerned Scientist (UCS).

These satellites are LEO satellites.

The rocket that has delivered the most satellites to space is Falcon 9 which has delivered 4 satellites (57.1%).

  Which launch site has launched the most satellites from Canadian Space Agency to space?

The launch site that has launched the most satellites to space is Vandenberg AFB which has launched 5 satellites (71.4%).

  What is the most common type of satellite orbit?

Sun-Synchronous orbit is the most common type of orbit (5 satellites - 71.4%).

  Apogee, Perigee & Period

The perigees (point of the orbit closest to the Earth's center of mass) of the satellites range from 325km to 817km, with the average perigee being 614.9km from the Earth, while the apogees (point of the orbit farthest from the Earth's center of mass) of the satellites range from 603km to 1,486km, with the average apogee being 794.7km from the Earth. The longest period a satellite takes to orbit around the Earth is 103 minutes.


NEOSSat.

First Canadian space telescope dedicated to detecting and tracking asteroids and satellites

Operated by Canadian Space Agency of Canada, NEOSSat is a government satellite launched for the purpose of space observation.

Delivered via PSLV (launch vehicle) from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, it was launched into space on 25 February 2013 and orbits the Earth as a sun-synchronous LEO satellite. NEOSSat was constructed by Microsat Systems Canada Inc. (Canada).

NEOSSat has a launch mass of 74 kg and navigates with the COSPAR ID 2013-009D and NORAD ID 39089.

With an orbital eccentricity of 9.79E-04, the satellite's perigee, which is the point of the orbit closest to the Earth's center of mass, is 772km while its apogee, which is the point of the orbit farthest from the Earth's center of mass, is 786km. It takes 100 minutes to orbit the Earth at an inclination of 99 degrees to the equatorial plane of the Earth.

RCM-1.

RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM)

  Heaviest satellite launched by Canadian Space Agency into space at 1,430 kg

Operated by Canadian Space Agency of Canada, RCM-1 is a government satellite launched for the purpose of earth observation (Radar Imaging).

A sun-synchronous LEO satellite, it was launched into space using Falcon 9 as the launch vehicle from Vandenberg AFB on 12 June 2019. RCM-1 was constructed by MDA Corporation (Canada).

RCM-1 has a launch mass of 1,430 kg and is expected to have a operational lifetime of 7 years. It navigates with the COSPAR ID 2019-033A and NORAD ID 44322.

With an orbital eccentricity of 1.44E-03, the satellite's perigee, which is the point of the orbit closest to the Earth's center of mass, is 584km while its apogee, which is the point of the orbit farthest from the Earth's center of mass, is 604km. It takes 97 minutes to orbit the Earth at an inclination of 98 degrees to the equatorial plane of the Earth.

Cassiope.

Observing Space Weather With a Canadian Hybrid Satellite

  Second heaviest elliptical satellite launched into space at 490 kg

Designed for earth science, Cassiope is a government satellite operated by Canadian Space Agency (Canada).

A elliptical LEO satellite, it was launched into space using Falcon 9 as the launch vehicle from Vandenberg AFB on 29 September 2013. Cassiope was constructed by Canadian Space Agency (Canada).

Cassiope has a launch mass of 490 kg and is expected to have a operational lifetime of 2 years. It navigates with the COSPAR ID 2013-055A and NORAD ID 39265.

Using its self-produced usable power of 600 watts, Cassiope orbits at an inclination of 81 degrees to the equatorial plane of the Earth.

The satellite's perigee, which is the point of the orbit closest to the Earth's center of mass, is 325km while its apogee, which is the point of the orbit farthest from the Earth's center of mass, is 1,486km. Its orbit has an eccentricity of 7.98E-02 and it takes 103 minutes to orbit the Earth.
