1 Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute Institut aéronautique et spatial du Canada Welcome to the 2010 CASI Canadian Student Summit on Aerospace, hosted by the The technical program takes place in the Trottier Building. Lorne M. Trottier, CM is a co founder of Matrox, a computer corporation that specializes in computer graphics. Born in 1948 in Montréal, Québec, Trottier received a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering in 1970 and a Masters of Engineering in the same field in 1973, both from McGill University. The Lorne M. Trottier building at McGill was funded in part by his donations. For his philanthropy McGill recently bestowed upon him an honorary Doctorate of Science, he was awarded the Quebec governmentʹs Prix Lionel Boulet and in 2006, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada. Thomson House is the location of he no host get together and dinner In 1935, the Gravel family commissioned J.J. Perrault to design a house for them on McTavish Street. It had a concrete frame and floors with a Montreal limestone exterior. The house has a cube structure with a simple, yet elegant facade. The interior is divided into many small rooms which are graced with carved details in wood, moulded plaster ceilings, and ornate fireplaces. This edifice was purchased by McGill in 1968 to serve as the Post Graduate Studentsʹ Society. At this time the house was renamed Thomson House after David L. Thomson, a dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and a founder of the Post Graduate Studentsʹ Society that still occupies the house today. September 18 septembre 2010 Montréal QC

4 Brookstreet Hotel, Ottawa, October The inaugural CASI Space Policy Workshop was held last fall, and the feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive. Participants emphasized the unique features and outstanding value of the event. They appreciated the all-plenary format, the mix of government, industry and academic backgrounds, the relaxed atmosphere and wide-ranging dialogue, the senior organizational level of the participants, and the fact that it took place under the Chatham House rule that forbids attribution of statements. This year we will hold the event again, under a slightly different name: the CASI Space Symposium. The change reflects our goal to broaden the topics covered, while continuing to encourage free-ranging discussion and to maximize opportunities for relationship-building and networking. Building Canadian Space Capacity - CASI Space Symposium 2010 If you participated last year, we're confident you will want to attend Building Canadian Space Capacity again. We will contact you directly as soon as a preliminary program and registration form are ready. And if you missed your chance last year, just contact CASI AERO 2011 Conference Sustainable aerospace : the Canadian contribution Delta Centre-ville Hotel, Montréal, Québec, April 26-28, 2011 Held in conjunction with the 57 th Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute Five Symposia 150 papers and posters 14 th Aerodynamics Symposium 4 parallel sessions 21 st Aerospace Structures and Materials Symposium 3 plenary panels 57 th Aircraft Design and Development Symposium International speakers 18 th Propulsion Symposium Excellent social program 1 st Human Factors Symposium NEW for 2011 Lots of time for networking Deadline for abstracts: January 14, 2011

5 Welcome to the CASI Canadian Student Summit on Aerospace The first annual CASI CSSA was held in February 2002 at Queenʹs University. It was the initiative of a group of Engineering students with financial and logistical support provided by CASI. Since then the CASI CSSA has been hosted by Carleton University, University of Waterloo, University of Toronto, Concordia University and Ryerson University. The event is hosted by a different academic institution each year as a way to showcase the programs of a variety of Canadian institutions of higher learning. This approach also bring the event to local academic, business and government communities. The new has taken on the challenge of hosting the 2010 CSSA. MIAE Executive Director Stephen Yue has provided a great deal of support and encouragement since planning began in the spring. Steve also has taken on a pivotal role in the program by leading the Engineering Game that concludes the day. The assistance of MIAE staff members Joy Simpson and Carlos Trindade is also gratefully acknowledged. On behalf of all the participants in the Student Summit, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to the speakers who have given generously of their precious weekend time to share with us their knowledge and their enthusiasm for their subjects.

6 CASI provides a focus for communications and networking among the aeronautics and space community in Canada, and assists members in developing skills, exchanging information, and sharing talents in their areas of interest. It promotes Canadian competence and international competitiveness in aeronautics and space and their applications, and fosters national pride and international esteem for Canada s accomplishments in these areas. For 50 years, The Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute (CASI) has made outstanding contributions to the advancement of the art, science, engineering, and applications of aviation and aerospace in Canada. Belt of Orion Award Citation for 2004, awarded by Canada s Aviation Hall of Fame The Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute is a non profit professional scientific and technical organization. CASI is devoted to the advancement of the art, science and engineering relating to aeronautics, astronautics and associated technologies, and to nurture and promote the professionalism of those engaged in these pursuits. The origin of CASI dates back to 1954 when the Montreal based Institute of Aircraft Technicians, the Ottawa Aeronautical Society, and the Canadian sections of the U.S. Institute of Aeronautical Sciences amalgamated to form the Canadian Aeronautical Institute (CAI). In 1962 the Canadian Astronautical Society in Toronto and the Montreal based Astronautical Society of Canada merged with the CAI to become the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute. The Institute consists of 15 Branches that serve about 1,200 members in major cities across Canada, some hosted by universities and colleges. Sections cater to special interest groups, such as Aerodynamics, Aircraft Design and Development, Astronautics, Flight Mechanics and Operations, Propulsion, Structure and Materials, and UAVs. Constituent Societies serve members specializing in technologies such as Air Cushion Technology, Navigation and Remote Sensing. CASI holds conferences, workshops and symposia each year that draw delegates from across Canada and around the world. The Institute publishes two peer review scientific journals that focus on the work and accomplishments of Canadian scientists and researchers. CASI s official journal, the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Journal, has been published quarterly since The Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing, now in its 36 th year, is the official journal of the Canadian Remote Sensing Society and is ranked among the top journals in the world. CASI also publishes proceedings of its conferences and symposia. The Institute keeps its members informed of Institute and industry activities with the CASI Clipper, an e zine published fortnightly, and with the CASI Log. When you become a member of CASI you join ranks with THE national organization that represents all facets of aeronautics, space and remote sensing in Canada. CONTACT CASI FOR MORE INFORMATION TODAY!
