The members are maintaining the vision of our club.The reason members are involved is to expand on their potential. All of us have a potential that is above the type of work that we do in our daily lives. The CSW offer a chance for people to do something perceived at a glance to be impossible , to move forward with ideas that they can visualize as reality. Members are driven by a desire to become involved in a difficult and complex challenge. Click here to Contact us
Founded, October 4, 2004. The day SpaceShipOne rocketed into history, becoming the first private manned spacecraft to exceed an altitude of 328,000 feet twice within 14 days
Projects of interest > Biocoil reactor and extendended corridor from habitat is being built > Heating panels/ solar panels made from moon dust simulant > Zeolite research > Inflatable corridors for habitat > Subsistance project (plant food) > Glass Monolithic Dome Project > International Space Station (ISS) Radio Communication > Vaccuum chamber project
Dr Robert Thirsk talking to RT Alderman school children
The Amature Radio club ARISS with president Ken Oelke in association with the Calgary Space Workers Society in the contact of the International Space Station and Dr. Robert Thirsk.
We had a great pass of the ISS and the ARISS team are a great bunch of guys. The CSW were thrilled to watch this event and allowing the use of our radio equipment was inspiring beyond a dought. These guys put the dance in the dance shoes and are great people as well.
This note from our first contact says it all.....
Hi ARISS Team! WOW....look what Brian Jackson received from Bob Thirsk. Now - how often do you get an e-mail from an Astronaut, shortly after (7:24 PM)talking with him on 2 metres? This is so cool, and again you guys and gals helped pull off an awesome event for the Kids. For more information click here

Our Vision
We at CSW are a group of workers with a desire "To Live And Work In Space"
Our Mission
To allow the rapid expansion of human development and the development of infrastructure for space. We will do this by providing a means to train individuals for the future of space colonization. We will make available funds and materials to construct infrastructure for space development.
There is no looking back as we create the demonstrator, prototype then the working model of our moon habitat and research station.
The demonstrator: Our members will be building a Hard-shell Analog Headquarters, the Hard-shell Manufacturing shop, the Connecting Inflatable Corridor, the Inflatable Wetlands Biosphere Module and the Inflatable Sleeping Quarters Module. Later the members will build their own personal inflatable or mobile habitats that will accompany the groups project.

Goldray Industries manufactures all types of decorative glass for interior and exterior building projects. Our products are used in truly unique applications such as ceiling tiles, opaque or translucent walls, flooring systems and many other areas where a solid surface building material is needed. Through the use of unique products, marketing and education, our aim is to show others how this versatile material can be used to solve many different design and construction issues.

Ultimately Mars for Colonization inclusive of restoration of its ancient ecologyThe moon is the necessary stepping-stoneWe will in time build a demonstrator, prototype then actual habitat to live and work in space We will in time build and launch our own spaceship
Projects on the go.........
A fully functional analog space/moon habitat and research station project to demonstratate and learn more about building our prototype and working model.
