Members of the York chapter of Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS) are far-seeking. They meet on campus but they look into the depths of\u00a0space.... And soon they\u2019ll be looking at the faces behind Canada\u2019s future space exploration.<\/p>\n

\"\"SEDS are hosting a symposium entitled \"Mars and Beyond: Canada\u2019s Current and Future Role in Space Exploration and Development\", at which Canadian astronaut, president of the Canadian Space Agency and York honorary degree recipient Marc Garneau (right)\u00a0will be giving a presentation. The event takes place Tuesday, Jan. 21, 9:45am-noon, Senate Chamber, N940 Ross Bldg.<\/p>\n

\"\"Garneau\u2019s talk is called \"A New Era for Canada in Space: Canada\u2019s Vision for Mars Exploration\". Speaker Paul Fulford, senior systems engineer of the Mars Program at MD Robotics, will talk about \"Current and Future Mars Projects at MD Robotics\". Mike Dixon (left), director of the Controlled Environment System Research Facility and Chair of Environmental Biology at University of Guelph, will discuss \"Bioregenerative Life Support for Long Term Human Space Exploration\".<\/p>\n
