Magellan Aerospace (Magellan) and the University of Manitoba today unveiled their new Advanced Satellite Integration Facility (or ASIF) at Magellan's facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The facility will support research, development, construction and testing of satellite systems and components.

The facility was constructed in an existing 6,000-square-foot area, large enough to accommodate up to three satellites at various stages of assembly with sufficient ceiling height for high crane lifting requirements. The ASIF is an ISO Class 8 cleanroom facility that will satisfy the requirements of current and future satellite programs initiated by the Government of Canada.

The facility expansion was funded by an investment of $2.4 million from Western Economic Diversification Canada.

Magellan invested $1.5 million which includes $625,000 for the establishment of an Industrial Research Chair in the area of satellite development within the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Manitoba, and contributed to the construction of the facility, multi-year research and development (R&D) and educational funding.

The Honourable Shelly Glover, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages and Member of Parliament for Saint Boniface, was present to unveil the new facility. "Our Government recognizes the importance of collaborative research, commercialization and skills development to the overall competitiveness of our economy. The Advanced Satellite Integration Facility will bring together industry expertise, academic skills-development and leading-edge technology to significantly enhance the future growth opportunities and economic spinoff potential for Manitoba's thriving aerospace industry," said Minister Glover.

"The University of Manitoba is excited to be working in partnership with Magellan Aerospace and taking the lead on increasing the space technology sector in Western Canada," said Dr. Digvir Jayas, vice-president (research and international) and Distinguished Professor at the University of Manitoba.

Mr. Don Boitson, Vice President General Manager, Magellan Aerospace, Winnipeg, said "Magellan's focus in the ASIF partnership goes well beyond the bricks and mortar of this world-class facility. Magellan's investment in facilities, equipment, university research, and education support over the next five years reflects our commitment to both community and youth education." He added, "This partnership fosters a very meaningful relationship between academia and industry."

"Commercial Aircrafts segment is the topmost segment and Aluminum alloys leads the aerospace materials market with almost ~50% of the market share"

Commercial aircrafts took the topmost position in the Aerospace Materials Market with more than 70% market share by value in 2013. Increasing air traffic in the emerging economies and the drive towards fuel efficient and lightweight aircrafts is anticipated to drive the market for aerospace materials. The fastest growth rate till 2019 in the aerospace composite market is projected to come from aircraft segments, such as commercial aircrafts and business and general aviation. The reducing defense spending by many countries is expected to act as a biggest restraint in the growth of the aerospace materials market. Aluminum alloys comprise approximately 50% of the total aerospace materials market in terms of volume. However aerospace composite segment is expected to witness highest growth during the period of study due its favorable properties such as light weight, high corrosion resistance, and high tensile strength are some of the reasons for which manufacturers consider composites as an able substitute for metals in aircrafts
