General note:

Since its founding in 1989, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has been led by a president who reports directly to the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development (formerly the Minister of Industry). The President, who has powers equivalent to those of a deputy minister, manages an organization divided into 14 divisions (as of 2016), which can be loosely organized into three branches - science, integrated functions and administration.

As of 2016, the 'Science' branch consists of: the Space Science Program; the Space Technologies Division; the Space Systems Division; the Space Operations Program; and the Canadian Astronaut Office. The 'Integrated Functions Branch' consists of: Administration, Human Resources and Legal Services. The 'Administrative Branch' consists of: Communications; Corporate Management: Audit, Evaluation and Review; Strategic Development; External Relations and Government Liaison.

Date of issue:
