AUSTRAL2017 - Stratospheric Balloon Flight – Canadian Space Agency (CSA) Stratos Telemetry Subsystem

Here is data coming from a balloon, as high as the Eiffel all, and whose utility is to test new technology applications before being placed on satellites for long-duration space missions.

This dataset contains the telemetry data obtained from the different sub systems during the AUSTRAL2017 mission and two sets of pictures from different cameras. The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) STRATOS program participated in the AUSTRAL2017 flight campaign which took place in Australia on April 8, 2017. One of the goals of this flight was to launch hardware at altitudes of around 40 kilometres and observe the different data that was captured throughout the flight. The available data concern:
1 - Raw A2D data from battery fail safe card;
2 - Housekeeping data from battery fail safe card;
3 - A2D from battery fail safe card, converted to engineering unit;
4 - Data Acquisition Module (Rasp.Pi) - Hardware related telemetry;
5 - Data Acquisition Module (Rasp.Pi) - Housekeeping telemetry;
6 - Event messages from Data Acquisition Module;
7 - Real-Time Clock telemetry;
8 - NovAtel OEM729 GPS receiver telemetry;
9 - UBLOX GPS receiver telemetry;
10 - UBLIX GPS receiver telemetry;
11 - Pictures of two cameras on board (one pointing straight down, one pointing at the horizon).

STRATOS, the CSA stratospheric balloon program, was created in 2012 through the CSA's collaboration with France's space agency (CNES). This program gives Canadian academia and industry the opportunity to test and validate new technologies and to perform scientific experiments at an altitude where only balloons can be operated.

Departmental Results Reports

Departmental Results Reports (DRRs) – previously named Departmental Performance Reports (DPR) – are individual department and agency accounts of actual accomplishments against plans, priorities and results set out in their respective Departmental Plans (DPs). DPs and DRRs make up Part III (the Departmental Expenditure Plans) of the Estimates publications.

Through DRRs, individual departments and agencies provide information on how they are progressing toward their strategic goals. DRRs cover the most recently completed fiscal year and are normally tabled in the fall.

Departmental Plans

Departmental Plans (DPs) – previously named Reports on Plans and Priorities (RPP) – are forward-looking documents that provide plans for each department and agency (excluding Crown corporations). They describe departmental priorities, results and associated resource requirements covering three fiscal years. The first year of this document supplements information contained in the Main Estimates.

DPs are tabled in Parliament by the President of the Treasury Board on behalf of the ministers who preside over the appropriation-dependent departments and agencies identified in Schedules I, I.1 and II of the Financial Administration Act, on or before March 31 each year. They are a component of Part III (Departmental Expenditure Plans) of the Estimates process, along with the Departmental Results Reports.

Supplementary Estimates (B) 2017-18 

Supplementary Estimates are part of the normal parliamentary approval process to ensure that previously planned government initiatives receive the necessary funding to move them forward, therefore meeting the needs of Canadians. They present information to Parliament on the Government of Canada’s spending requirements that were not sufficiently developed in time for inclusion in the Main Estimates, and will from time to time include urgent but unforeseen expenditures, such as natural disasters (an ice storm, H1N1, etc.). Supplementary Estimates directly support an appropriation act. Supplementary Estimates are published throughout the year; each release is identified alphabetically (A, B, C, etc.). Supplementary Estimates (A) are tabled in May and the associated appropriation act is granted royal assent and becomes law in June. These provide federal organizations with the funding they need early in the year. Supplementary Estimates (B) are tabled in late October or early November and the associated appropriation act is granted royal assent in December. Supplementary Estimates (C) are tabled in February and the associated appropriation act is granted royal assent in March.

Biomass of trees sampled across Canada as part of the Energy from the Forest Biomass (ENFOR) Program 

In the early 1980’s, thousands of trees were destructively sampled across Canada by the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) as part of the ENergy from the FORest research (ENFOR) program with the objective to produce regional biomass equations for the most common tree species.  The sampling was overseen by researchers in each of the CFS’s five regional establishments.

In the early 2000’s, following a request by Canada’s National Forest Inventory, the original ENFOR data was recovered from regional archives, assembled and homogenized for the purpose of creating national biomass equations for Canada’s most common tree species.  The equations were published in two installments.  The first (Lambert et al, 2005), covered all of Canada except British Columbia for which the ENFOR data had not been recovered at the time of publication.  The second (Ung et al, 2008), contains equations for the British Columbia-specific species, and modified equations for other Canadian tree species that had also been sampled in British Columbia. These publications also contain detailed information about the original tree sampling and sample processing and the original ENFOR reports.  

This dataset contains the oven dry mass of four separate tree compartments for nearly 9,000 trees belonging to 33 different species. The four compartments are: stem wood, stem bark, branches, and foliage and twigs. Results of compilation, calculations and corrections are also contained in this dataset.

Performance Readiness Evaluation Tool (PRET)

In order to improve the capability to monitor and evaluate the neurocognitive (NC) status of the International Space Station (ISS) astronauts, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) initiated the development of a novel tool called Performance Readiness Evaluation and Training Tool (PRET). PRET is based on a 3D virtual reality Mars mission simulator that offers multi-task activities embedded with NC tests. This would permit the assessment of a user’s neuropsychological performance in areas such as processing speed, memory, attention, and response control. 
 
The initial prototype software (Version 1) was developed in 2010. The PRET prototype went through initial usability testing during the Russian Mars500 isolation study and the software was updated based on this experience, resulting in Version 2). Subsequently, the Carleton University Advanced Cognitive Engineering (ACE) Lab was contracted to perform further testing and evaluation of PRET in a controlled laboratory setting. This was done in four test phases (Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 and Phase 3 Extension). After each phase, the PRET software was further refined and updated. The goal was to verify PRET’s robustness, usability, and ability to detect and predict the neurocognitive readiness of astronauts in performing critical mission tasks. Further testing on the ground is required before space application.

The provided data contains participant neurocognitive performance results measured using the PRET software (versions 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0), standardized neurocognitive tests (D-KEFS, PASAT, PVT, TOVA, WAIS-IV, and WMS-I), and standard neurocognitive assessment tools DANA and WinSCAT.

Colleague connections within the Government of Canada’s social networking platform, GCconnex

A dataset detailing the colleague connections within the Government of Canada’s social networking platform, GCconnex. The data has been anonymized, where each user on GCconnex is denoted by a random number. The dataset contains every user on GCconnex who has added a ‘colleague’ on the network, (colleague is synonymous with adding a friend on Facebook). When two users on GCconnex add each other as a colleague, a link is drawn between them, demonstrating their connection. This link is known in the data as an edge. Each user who has made a colleague on GCconnex is a node. The date the user created their account, and the department of each user is recorded for each node. The date a colleague connection was made is recorded with the edge.

## Comments
The department of each user on GCconnex is determined either by the user indicating their current department, or, if the user does not indicate their department, by using the suffix of the user’s email. 
Recently, the Government of Canada has commenced an initiative to give select departments the email suffix of @canada.ca. If a GCconnex user has the Canada.ca email suffix, and does not indicate their department, we cannot accurately determine their department. Additionally, if there is a typo in the email address from the user, it becomes difficult to efficiently determine their department if they do not indicate their department themselves. For these reasons, there is a small amount of users that are not given a department specification, but have their department given as Canada.ca, or as their email suffix.
