Project Title
Science Maturation Study for UV/Optical Wide Field Space Astronomy for Dark Energy Investigations

Description
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) located in St-Hubert (Quebec), is seeking proposals for one Science Maturation Study in Space Astronomy targeting wide field UV/optical imaging telescope aimed principally at the investigation of dark energy.
