The Canadian Space Agency is advancing rover operations by investing an additional $1M in technologies developed by two Canadian companies, Canadensys and MDA Space.
In December 2023, $2.9M in funding was awarded to advance technologies focused on several fundamental fields for lunar exploration. These activities could prove key to the development of the future Canadian utility rover.
Set to launch no earlier than 2033, this multi-purpose rover is being designed to tackle a range of tasks on the Moon's surface, from transporting equipment and conducting scientific investigations to supporting astronauts during spacewalks ? all while enduring the extreme conditions of the lunar environment.
