Summary
Canada is preparing to develop a utility vehicle for the lunar surface. This webinar will be the third in a series of events to provide industry and academia with information about the initiative.
The focus of this webinar is to provide information on an upcoming request for proposals for Phase 0 science activities as well as an overview of the joint CSA, NASA and ESA science definition team's work. As part of this webinar, the CSA will be seeking feedback from the participants on the traceability matrix during the open discussion that will follow the presentation.
Detailed description
Organized by the Canadian Space Agency's Lunar Exploration Program team, the webinar will be co-chaired by Taryn Baker, Senior Engineer Program Integration, and Caroline-Emmanuelle Morisset, Planetary Senior Mission Scientist, supported by key members of the team. The webinar will provide details on the procurement outlook for scientific instrumentation and provide an overview of the draft science traceability matrix developed by the CSA, NASA and ESA science definition team outlining the potentital scientific objectives for the lunar utility vehicle. Feedback will be requested on the draft matrix. The feedback that is received will provide information required to finalize the science definition team report. The CSA will be requesting feedback during the discussion period of the webinar as well as through a form that will be available for five business days after the online session.
Following registration, individuals will receive a meeting link, an information package for review prior to the webinar and access to the feedback form. The package will contain the draft science traceability matrix along with other relevant information from the science definition team's draft report.
We encourage all those interested in this webinar to register even if unable to attend to ensure you receive the information package, access to the feedback form and the recording. Please note that the recording will be available on GCCollab the day after the webinar. A link will be sent to all registrants, and individuals will be required to sign up to access the GCCollab platform and view the recording.
