  • Launch Day

    Today we’ve got something special for you. Iain Christie, the host of Terranauts, was the Gala speaker at the recent Canadian Space Summit. His talk was titled, Launch Day. This is the live recording of that speech. As Iain puts it, Launch Day is a quintessentially Terranaut experience, and this is his Launch Day story. But as you’ll hear, we want to hear about your Launch Day story. If we get enough stories, we’ll put together a special podcast. Send your stories to [email protected].

  • Chris Hadfield - An Astronaut on Terranauts

    This week on the Terranauts podcast we have a very special guest, Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield. Hadfield, as a former astronaut, provides his perspective on Terranauts and as you'll hear, now that he's a retired astronaut, he's become a Terranaut himself. The stories you'll hear today are not your typical astronaut stories, so listen in.

  • A Terranauts Special Episode Announcement
    Next Tuesday Nov. 12th is an important anniversary for Terranauts. It's the 24th anniversary of the launch of space shuttle mission STS-74 - which was the first time I ever sat in the mission control centre and watched the shuttle go to space with an instrument that I helped create on board. It's the day that made me a Terranaut. To mark the event, we have a very special guest for our November 14 episode.

  • Bill Mackey an Original Canadian Space Station Flight Controller

    In the last episode we had a bit of history lesson from Mac Evans about the beginnings of Canada's current space program.  We talked about the creation of the Canadian Space Agency and the negotiation of the international treaty for what eventually became the International Space Station.  Today's guest Bill Mackey is going to help us continue that story and learn about the building of both the International Space Station and the international team that had to manage and run it.

  • Mac Evans and Building a National Space Program

    Last week on the Terranauts podcast we talked about what it takes to build your own satellite.  This week we think a little bigger and talk about what it takes to build a space program. Our guest this week is Mac Evans, a former president of the Canadian Space Agency and a current member of Canada's Space Advisory Board.  Mac is also one of the architects of Canada's space program.  We talk about that and about what it has been like to go to space for the last 50 years... without ever leaving the planet.

  • Terranauts Inaugural Podcast with Stephane Germain

    When most people think about space they think of astronauts, names like Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Chris Hadfield are familiar to an awful lot of people. But for every astronaut that makes it to space there are legions of smart, dedicated, and interesting people who plan, design, build and operate the mission, spacecraft and instruments that make up the space program. Terranauts is about those people. The ones that go to space all the time, without ever leaving the planet. These are their stories.
