The Avro Arrow and the Man On Moon

3. 01/30/15
 Canadians played an
important role in Apollo.
 When the Canadian
government cancelled the
CF-105 Avro Arrow
program in 1959, the U.S.
space agency NASA
hired 31 engineers from
Avro Canada.

4. 01/30/15
 Jim Chamberlin, the leader of
the Avro group, made major
contributions to the U.S. Moon
effort.
 Chamberlin was head of
engineering in the Mercury
Program, and then designed
the Gemini spacecraft and
served as Gemini's first
program manager.
 He also played a key role in
deciding how Apollo would go
to the Moon, and he served as
an engineering troubleshooter
for Apollo.
 Chamberlin was born in
Kamloops B.C. and raised in
Toronto.

5. 01/30/15
 Owen Maynard, a native of
Sarnia, Ontario, was head of
systems engineering in the
Apollo Spacecraft Program
Office.
 Maynard was the first person
in NASA to start design work
on the lunar module, and as
head of systems engineering,
he was responsible for
integration and coordination of
various spacecraft systems.
 He also drew up the plan of
missions leading up to the first
lunar landing on Apollo 11.

6. 01/30/15
 Bryan Erb played a key
role in developing
Apollo's heat shield, and
his contributions to the
U.S. and Canadian space
programs continue up to
today's International
space station.
 Six lunar modules,
starting with Apollo 11's
Eagle, landed on the
Moon using legs that
were made by Héroux
Machine Parts Ltd. of
Longueuil, Québec.
These legs were left
behind on the Moon with
the descent stages of the
lunar modules

7. 01/30/15
First Satellite
 Canada's first satellite
was called Alouette.
When Canada launched
Alouette on September
29, 1962, Canada
became the third country
in the world to have a
satellite in orbit, after the
Soviet Union and the
United States.

Canada’s First Space Telescope
 MOST is a suitcase-sized (65
cm x 65 cm x 30 cm, 60 kg)
microsatellite designed to
probe stars and extrasolar
planets by measuring tiny light
variations undetectable from
Earth.
 This can be done with such a
small telescope (15 cm
aperture) thanks to new
Canadian attitude control
technology.

20. 01/30/15
Canada’s Satellites
 Animation 1
 Animation 2
 Radarsat 1
 Radarsat 2 – the Americans refused to launch
Radarsat 2 for us because they thought it was a
threat to their national security. The Russians
launched it for us instead.

21. 01/30/15
