International Space Mission Training Program

加拿大的空间工业已经确定了在一个具有战略重要性的领域发展下一代空间技术和人员的全球领导机会。加拿大航天工业要取得加拿大在低成本火箭和立方体卫星开发和部署领域所享有的同样水平的成功，就必须有受过专业空间任务训练和国际经验的高技能创新者。NSERC CREATE国际空间任务（ISM）培训计划将准备未来的专家利用这些成功的机会。ISM将通过学生主导的、实际操作的、模拟的卫星任务发射训练与高要求的专业技能相结合。到2025年，学生项目将为加拿大主导的发射做出贡献。ISM的愿景建立在加拿大和挪威大学之间的长期合作伙伴关系之上，这两个北极国家具有独特的定位，依赖于空间技术和地面基础设施。加拿大和挪威在火箭和立方体卫星以及科学和工程方面都是全球强国。ISM将通过为下一级学生增加空间任务和专业技能，大大扩展现有的加拿大-挪威CaNoRock空间科学培训计划。国际空间系统的目标是加强空间科学的研究；培养学生的技术、研究和专业技能；到2025年，启动由学生主导的加拿大/挪威太空任务；并增加具有满足和推动蓬勃发展的空间经济需求所需技能的高素质人员的总体数量。

Canada's space industry has identified a global leadership opportunity to develop the next-generation of space technology and personnel in an area of strategic importance. Highly skilled innovators with professional space mission training and international experience are essential for the Canadian space industry to achieve the same level of success enjoyed by Canadarm in the area of low cost rocket and cube satellite development and deployment. The NSERC CREATE International Space Mission (ISM) Training Program will prepare future experts to capitalize on these opportunities for success. ISM will integrate technical skills developed through student-led, hands-on, simulated, satellite-mission launch training with high-demand professional skills. Student projects will contribute to a Canadian-led launch by 2025. The ISM vision builds upon a longstanding partnership between universities in Canada and Norway, artic nations uniquely positioned and reliant on space technology and ground infrastructure. Canada and Norway are global powerhouses in rocket and cube satellite as well as science and engineering. ISM will significantly expand the existing Canada-Norway CaNoRock space science training program by adding space mission and professional skills to the next level of students. The aims of the ISM are to enhance research in space science; to train students in technical, research and professional skills; to launch a student-led Canadian/Norwegian space mission by 2025; and to increase overall the number of highly qualified personnel with the skills needed to meet and drive the demands of the burgeoning space economy.
