   Mission Statement


The UTIAS Space Flight Laboratory (UTIAS/SFL) collaborates with business, government and academic institutions on spacecraft projects and the development of new space technologies. As a laboratory at the University of Toronto, its aim is to promote the use of novel technologies in space, and to train graduate students to strengthen the Canadian skill base in space systems engineering.




Vision

The vision of the Space Flight Laboratory is to revolutionize the space industry by enabling science and technology missions and the provision of space services at least one hundred times cheaper than present day missions, with spacecraft development taking less than two years. The means to realize this vision is through the judicious application of the "microspace" approach in exploiting the latest commercial technologies in space and following a disciplined approach to the design, adaptation, testing and qualification of new space systems.
