The president of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) will resign at the end of the month to take a position with a new research institute, the agency announced Tuesday. Steve MacLean will leave the agency on February 1 to take a position in a new venture in Waterloo, Ontario, established by Mike Lazaridis, co-founder of technology company RIM, to perform research and development work in the field of quantum physics. MacLean, who has been president of the CSA since 2008, is a former astronaut who flew on two space shuttle missions.
