Canadian military focuses on space operations to address growing satellite activity and monitoring challenges.

Canadian military prioritizes "space-mindedness" as Commander Brig.-Gen. Michael Adamson emphasizes the importance of understanding what's happening in space for military operations. The Canadian Armed Forces Space Division works to protect critical Earth infrastructure, as space launches have become easier and cheaper, with countries like China sending more satellites into orbit. Canada has limited information about these satellites, and Norad lacks the ability to monitor events outside the atmosphere.
