Are you looking to fly an experiment in microgravity onboard the Falcon 20 research aircraft or launch a payload on a stratospheric balloon? Let us know you're interested in participating in SEDS-Canada's
Projects in the 2024 - 2025 year using this form! Applications for our projects usually open in early September.
Whether you already formed a team and have an idea or you're an individual interested in participating, feel free to fill out this form! We'll let you know when applications open and can help you or your team by providing feedback on your ideas and additional resources. We can even help you find other students from your institution that may be interested in participating!
Canadian Reduced Gravity Experiment Design Challenge (CAN-RGX)
This is a competition for post-secondary students to design and test a small scientific experiment on board the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) Falcon 20, which has been modified for reduced gravity flight in association with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). Past experiments covered a wide range of topics, including physical sciences, technology development/demonstrations and life sciences.

Canadian Stratospheric Balloon Experiment Design Challenge (CAN-SBX)
This is a competition for post-secondary students to design and test a small scientific experiment to fly on board a high-altitude balloon provided by the Canadian Space Agency. This program allows students to develop different experiments in areas such as astrophysics, Earth atmosphere, Earth magnetic field, biology, remote sending and technology demonstrations.

Canadian Analog Research Experiment Design Challenge (CAN-ARX)
This is a competition for post-secondary students to test an experiment in the remote areas of Canada in collaboration with Living Lab Charlevoix. For the first time in Canada, student teams will operate a full research project in an analog setting from design to execution, starting with a proposal outlining their scientific goals, project feasibility, and management plan. A major component of the CAN-ARX challenge will be to build connections with the scientific community and public living near the research and expedition sites, along with properly executing and conducting their project research.
