As I mentioned, right now in space we have a very strong current of growth. We're seeing the space economy grow from $380 billion to $400 billion a year today to over a trillion dollars in the next few years.
Canada, as the third country into space back 60 years ago after the U.S.S.R. and the United States, has ended up with a strong space industrial base in the country, so we're able to take advantage of that strong growth curve.
The real things we can do to ensure that we're successful in that, as I mentioned, from a government support perspective is to ensure anchor programs. If you look at a program like Telesat's Lightspeed, providing support to that program and ensuring it's a success creates the whole supply chain of opportunity for Canadians.
Our Canadarm3 program at MDA is executing with the Canadian Space Agency to put the next generation of artificial intelligence-based robotics on lunar gateway, the new space station that will orbit the moon. That is another great example of government anchor programs that enable us and then facilitate the entire supply chain of hundreds of companies.
There are a number of additional opportunities to do that moving forward into the future. We've talked about our having a next generation earth observation satellite. We have demonstration 5G communications programs that are being conducted right now.
