At NGC, we cherish several traditions that are part of what makes us who we are - our colleagues and their families look forward to them with anticipation โœจ

Among these events is the annual sugar shack. Who doesnโ€™t love indulging in some sweet treats while connecting with colleagues in a cheerful, checkered-patterned setting? Simple and effective!

A little souvenir of this yearโ€™s event ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ

On February 28th, we celebrated 10 years with Carl Fontaine, our Director of Finance and Administration ๐ŸŽ‰

Carl first joined NGC on a temporary basis in 2016, when we were organising the 20th edition of the IFAC Symposium on Automatic Control in Aerospace for the International Federation of Automatic Control in addition to moving our office to a new building โ€” a great baptism by fire!

This experience highlighted the qualities we all appreciate in Carl as a colleague: his thoroughness, determination, commitment to quality, perseverance, and strong sense of teamwork, but also, as a true epicurean, the importance he places on his colleagues' happiness at work and the art of hospitality โœจ

After 10 years at NGC, from Accounting technician to Finance director, what sets NGC apart from other companies, according to Carl?

"The team makes all the difference! Being surrounded by colleagues who are passionate, professional, caring and committed has allowed me to grow in an ideal environment where I can fully realize my potential in my role... and even beyond. Management truly cares about the well-being of its employees, the work is stimulating, there is no shortage of challenges, and you learn something new every day. I have truly found a motivating and rewarding job here."

Thank you for being one of our pillars, Carl, we are very fortunate to have you as one of our team leaders. Here's to 10 great years at NGC ๐Ÿš€

On January 25th, we celebrated our colleague Maxime Minville's 10-year NGC-anniversary ๐ŸŽ‰

For the past 10 years, Maxime has been working as a software developer โ€“ Embedded Systems at NGC. He is one of our colleagues with the most diverse role on the team: daily, Maxime may be called upon to collaborate on a software development project, operate the robot in the laboratory, integrate a drone in the workshop, or perform software simulation on our hardware-in-the-loop system ๐Ÿ’ป.

For Maxime, it is this versatility that has made working at NGC such a rewarding experience over the past 10 years:

โ€œThese 10 years have gone by so quickly. I understand why when I take the time to look back. Indeed, I have been fortunate enough to contribute to many exciting challenges, from Earth to the Moon via Earth's orbit. And I've done so with a wonderful team!โ€

In 10 years, we have seen Maxime grow and transform at work, from junior designer to senior engineer, from learner to mentor, and out of work, welcoming children that we are blessed so see grow as well (little glimpse of it in the carousel!). It is with great pride that we highlight his contribution to our success today โœจ

Maxime, you are an exceptional colleague and we are delighted to celebrate this milestone with you today. Happy 10 years!

The holidays are coming in hot at NGC. It's time for many of our colleagues to take a meaningful break, a well-deserved rest after the last few months which have been marked by commitment and innovation. 2025 was crowned with numerous successes and we owe them entirely to the dedication of our team members and to the impeccable collaboration of our trusted partners ๐Ÿ™Œ

We're taking a moment until January to power down, recharge our batteries and spend time with family and friends before kicking off 2026 which is already shaping up to be another exciting year.

From the entire NGC team, we wish you a very happy holiday season and a bright 2026 ๐ŸŒ

On this week putting the spotlight on Women and Girls in Science, we mark an important milestone in the career of two of our valued colleagues, who, 10 years ago, were taking their first steps as members of the NGC Aerospace team ๐ŸŽ‰

For the occasion, we asked them to share what made NGC a truly โ€˜โ€™spatialโ€™โ€™ place ๐ŸŒ  to grow professionally.

โ€œDuring my 10 years at NGC, I had the opportunity to work on a variety of very interesting projects in GNC software development for terrestrial satellites, from R&D projects to the implementation of software now operational in orbit ๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ. These projects have offered me great challenges, and it's very satisfying to find solutions to them.โ€™โ€™ - Pamela

โ€œWorking at NGC means working on exciting projects, from satellites, to rovers, to drones, and on and on, with interesting technological challenges with a dynamic and respectful team ๐Ÿ’—โ€ - Marie-Kiki

For 10 years, their contribution to projects, to the advancement of our technology and to the collective knowledge we build every day at NGC has been immense, and we are proud to highlight their achievements today.

Pamela and Marie-Kiki, happy 10th anniversary at NGC ๐ŸŒ

Today, the Blue Ghost lunar lander, developed by Firefly Aerospace, was successfully launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 vehicle and is now on its way to land at Mare Crisium, on the Moon, carrying NGC Aerospace's navigation system as a demonstration ๐Ÿš€๐ŸŒŒ

On this mission, the global lunar navigation system developed by NGC will be tested and verified against Firefly's vision navigation system upon landing. NGC's system is capable of identifying craters from real-time camera images of the lunar surface and using them as topographical references to accurately localise a lunar orbiter or lander, providing high-accuracy navigation information that precisely guides spacecraft to their intended landing site.

This is a first visit to space for our system ๐ŸŒ‘โœจ

NGC Aerospace's participation in this mission was made possible thanks to financial support from the Canadian Space Agency under the Lunar Exploration Acceleration Program.

Today saw the launch of the highly anticipated PROBA-3 satellite for which NGC Aerospace is contributing the Attitude and Orbit Control Software. NGC is proud to be part of this mission and congratulates the European Space Agency and the mission industrial consortium for their remarkable achievements in this project! ๐Ÿš€โœจ

A particular thought goes to our close partners at GMV and SENER responsible for the development of the mission Guidance, Navigation and Control system.

Together, we are pushing the boundaries of space science and technology. Congratulations to the entire team! ๐ŸŒŒ๐Ÿ‘

NGCโ€™s participation to this mission was made possible thanks to the cooperation agreement between Canada and ESA.
