Canadian technologies on the Moon
2024-02-15 - Three Canadian companies have received funding from the Canadian Space Agency to test their technologies in the harsh environment of the Moon.
Canadensys Aerospace Corporation will demonstrate an AI-enabled operational lunar 360-degree imaging system, including multiple cameras.
Mission Control will test two technologies: an AI algorithm to classify types of lunar geological features and a software for remote operations on deep-space missions.
NGC Aerospace will test a navigation system, similar to the GPS technology used on Earth. (Credits: Canadian Space Agency, Canadensys Aerospace, Mission Control – MoonNet, NGC Aerospace)
