Alouette I : Canada's first venture in space.: Co22-271/1972E-PDF

"This is the story of an experiment in science, which opened the door through which Canada moved into the space age. Alouette was an achievement by a group of Canadian scientists and engineers, scientists who designed the experiments, engineers who designed the equipment. After ten years in orbit, Alouette continues on her daily tasks, measuring, reporting, and moving on in her ordered way, a tribute to her designers and builders, most of whom keep faith with Alouette and continue to listen to her daily messages from the Communications Research Centre of the Department of Communications on the outskirts of Ottawa. This brief story, written by the people involved, is a tribute to them all."
