Purpose

The Research component of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) Class Grant and Contribution Program to support Research, Awareness and Learning in Space Science and Technology provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future. This project entitled "" SWARM Science Support "" will allow the University of Calgary scientists who developed the electric field instrument on board of the 3 Swarm satellites to realize the full scientific potential of Canada's participation in the mission, to promote and facilitate trainee involvement in the scientific analysis of the data, and its scientific use in general.
