There is an ever-growing demand for more actionable and timely insights regarding space activity and the behaviours of satellites in orbit. In the spirit of an internationally shared commitment to innovation, the Canadian Space Agency | Agence spatiale canadienne, with the support of the European Space Agency ESA Space Safety Competitiveness Segment, will allow NorthStar to bring AI capabilities directly onboard satellites. This will enable more precise detection of faint objects and rapid characterization of space activity as threats emerge. 🔗 Read our full press release: https://lnkd.in/e7y8sgb7 #AIinSpace #SpaceInnovation #SpaceTech --- Nous assistons à une demande croissante d’informations et d’analyses pertinentes et exploitables à l’égard de l'activité spatiale et des comportements des satellites en orbite. Dans un esprit d’engagement partagé à l’échelle internationale en faveur de l’innovation, le soutien prêté par l’Agence spatiale canadienne au volet Compétitivité du programme de sécurité spatiale de l’Agence spatiale européenne va permettre à NorthStar de déployer des outils d’intelligence artificielle directement à bord des satellites pour obtenir encore plus de précision dans la détection d’objets peu lumineux et accélérer le traitement de l’activité spatiale dès l’apparition des menaces.

We appreciate the thorough coverage from Marc Boucher at SpaceQ detailing our recent F-4 filing. Realizing a global Space Domain Awareness capability is complex by nature, as reflected in this filing. NorthStar has remained true to our mission objectives to overcome the many challenges along this road, as SpaceQ relayed: • Advancing an “always-on” SDA platform that integrates space-and ground-based data . • Prioritizing performance and resilience as we scale our next-generation sensors. • Supporting mission-critical customers, including government partners, where demand is strongest today. We invite continued dialogue as we move toward the next phase of growth and public markets. #SpaceDomainAwareness #SpaceTech #SpaceEconomy

On International Women in Engineering Day, we celebrate the diverse team of women engineers at NorthStar who are shaping the future of the space sector. 👷♀️✨🛰️ We are proud to have incredible women engineers whose leadership, expertise, perspectives and experiences solve complex challenges and make a lasting impact. Your achievements and outstanding contributions to protecting the space environment and keeping orbital operations safe are an inspiration to the next generation of women in engineering, science, and space. We wouldn't be where we are today without your star power. 🌟 Catherine Massé Chloe Gingras Sarah McKenzie-Picot Nicole Pallotta Noemi Giammichele Shrouti Dutta Laura Pirovano Yashica Khatri Stephanie Marsh #WomenInSTEM #INWED26 #WomenInEngineering
Today, on International Women in Engineering Day #INWED26, we celebrate the contributions of women across the #engineering profession and reflect on the journey that has brought us to this moment. The story of women in engineering is deeply intertwined with the evolution of the profession itself, shaped by the contributions of women who have expanded what engineering looks like, who participates, and how the profession serves society. Over the years, more women have entered the profession and helped shape the future of engineering in Canada. Engineers Canada’s #30by30 goal has played an important role in catalyzing change and encouraging collective action across the profession. But the conversation has also evolved. Engineers Canada recognized early that representation is only part of the picture. Increasingly other parts of the engineering ecosystem have recognized this also. Many women continue to face barriers that are rooted in workplace culture, systems, and structures and engineering regulators across the country are identifying where they have control or influence to dismantle barriers. In the engineering ecosystem, the question is no longer only about who enters the profession; it is also about who feels they belong, and what conditions support a welcoming and inclusive culture in engineering. That evolution is shaping the next chapter of our work. Engineers Canada’s 2025-2029 Strategic Plan includes a strategic direction focused on “Realizing an inclusive profession”. As part of that, we are developing a national engineering culture survey to better understand the experiences of people across the profession. The survey is intended to be completed every three years and will help build a meaningful national dataset on the conditions that support inclusion, wellbeing, and good engineering judgment. Before moving forward, we want to ensure we are asking the right questions. We will soon be inviting feedback on a draft survey framework from across the engineering community. International Women in Engineering Day is an opportunity to reflect on the past, recognize the progress made, and help shape what comes next. The path forward is not simply about increasing numbers. It is about creating a profession where women, and all engineers, have the opportunity to succeed, contribute fully, and feel that they belong. Together, we can continue building an engineering culture that is welcoming, inclusive, and strong for the future. #InternationalWomenInEngineeringDay #EngineeringCulture #WomenInEngineering #EDI #equity #diversity #inclusion

CWIX 2026 was a powerful working exercise of NATO’s collective, cross- functional capabilities across domains. NorthStar was pleased to engage with partners on the role of space-based capabilities in supporting multi-domain awareness. We look forward to continued collaboration in support of shared operational objectives. #CWIX2026 #Interoperability #NorthStar #NATO
Coalition Warrior Interoperability Exercise – Welcome Home! ➡️ NATO Joint Force Training Centre #NATO’s premier event for testing and validating interoperability - the Coalition Warrior Interoperability Exercise (#CWIX) - has just launched its 2026 iteration. Bringing together nearly 4,000 participants and visitors, the exercise will once again enhance NATO’s operational effectiveness, interoperability, and readiness. ✅ “CWIX is not a demonstration - it is a working exercise. It is where we take the challenges we face – across domains, across classifications, across networks – and we solve them together. The outcomes matter: stronger mission partnership, more resilient command and control, and better readiness for the mission we may be called upon to conduct.” – Major General Bogdan Rycerski, the NATO Joint Force Training Centre’s Commander ✅ “The question is not whether we intend to interoperable one day. The question is whether we can operate together - now under pressure, at scale, across domains and with trust.” That is what CWIX is for. And that is why your work counts.” – Commander Georg Klein, the CWIX Director Led by NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT), CWIX showcases NATO’s ability to translate shared intent into tangible operational capability, reinforcing Alliance cohesion, credibility, and readiness in an increasingly complex security environment. It helps ensure that NATO forces can exchange trusted information, develop a common operational picture, and enable faster, better-informed decision-making. 📍 Stay tuned for more on this year’s edition - and get CWIXed! 🙃 #WeAreNATO #Interoperability #MultiDomainOperations #DefenceTechnology #MilitaryInnovation

Today, on #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay, we invite all to recognize the histories, knowledge systems, and enduring contributions of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. The summer solstice holds deep cultural significance for many Indigenous communities, marking a time of renewal, connection to the land, and observation of the natural world, including the movement of the sun, moon, and stars. This longstanding relationships with the sky and environment reflect sophisticated knowledge of natural cycles—knowledge that continues to resonate in today’s space sector. As Canada advances its space and defence capabilities, there is growing recognition of the need for thoughtful engagement with Indigenous communities. The Canadian Space Agency | Agence spatiale canadienne recognizes Indigenous knowledge and contributions to the study of the stars and is working to reflect these perspectives in its programs and activities.
