Purpose
Quaternion Aerospace will develop a low cost, highly capable, and fully Canadian nanosatellite platform to strengthen domestic space industry capabilities and decouple from reliance on foreign suppliers. This platform will provide all of the systems needed to build a satellite, allowing Canada’s science, business, and defense industries to get their technologies into orbit quicker and at a lower cost, without any dependence on foreign countries. Quaternion will offer an off-the-shelf solution - either as individual components, or as a complete satellite bus - ready to be tailored to Canada's most pressing needs, from Artic military surveillance to detection and monitoring of wildfires, to forestry and crop monitoring. This will allow more of the money spent in these critical areas to remain in Canada, foster a strong domestic aerospace HQP pool, and accelerate the pace of innovation to ensure that Canada remains, strong, sovereign, and competitive in an ever-changing world.
