seeking bids to conduct Phase 0 studies related to the potential
contribution by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) of an Instrument

The Canadian Space Strategy seeks to define a bold vision for
Canada's future in Space, where:
·	Canadians, in a global partnership, work to harness the
potential of space to advance scientific and technical knowledge
of our world and the Universe beyond; and
·	Effective cooperation between government, industry and
research institutions in Canada allows Canadians to take their
place among the top creators and users of space products and
services in the world, and to take full advantage of the
benefits space has to offer.The Phase 0 development focuses on
the identification of the technological and scientific needs and
on the mission analysis. As the initial phase in payload/mission
development, it provides an opportunity for exploring truly
innovative ideas. These studies are thus of importance to the

internationally competitive Canadian space community and the
advancement of new ideas.
