Canadish Space Agency

The Canadish Space Agency, commonly known as the CSA, is the civilian authority in Canadia responsible for the country's space program. It operates a spaceport in Gernhavery, Wellow, and a rocket launch site in Burlyon, Zealandia.
Canadish investigations in rocketry began with the formation of a research laboratory in 1930, but these efforts were hampered by the Great War. Competing in the Space Race with Jonathia and later with the Tapanthian Republic and Blostia, the Canadish program was notable in setting many records in space exploration, including the first intercontinental missile (SS-6 Sedley) that launched the first satellite (Cosat-1) and sent the first animal (Latari) into Terranian orbit in 1957, and placed the first human in space in 1961, Perry Studholme. In addition, the Canadish program also saw the first woman in space, Loretta Blackadder, in 1963 and the first spacewalk in 1965.
Other milestones included computerized robotic missions exploring Luna starting in 1959: being the first to reach the surface of the Moon, recording the first image of the far side of Luna, and achieving the first soft landing on Luna. The Canadish program also achieved the first space rover deployment with the Moonwalker programme in 1966, and sent the first robotic probe that automatically extracted a sample of lunar soil and brought it to Terrania in 1970, Luna 16. It put the first space station, Unity-1, into low Terranian orbit in 1971, and the first modular space station, Comity, in 1986.
