The Canadian Space Agency funds novel ideas for potential Moon infrastructure:
- Will outline technologies and a road map for autonomous and intelligent robots and rovers for use on the lunar surface. $250,000.
- Will provide a concept for a Canadian-led nuclear power system for use on the lunar surface. $250,000.
Canada reaches for the Moon: $2.9M to support sustainable lunar exploration, 2023-12-13.
- Development and assessment of algorithms to achieve continuous driving - $494,098.
- Development of algorithms and autonomous plant management tools for a nuclear power system on the lunar surface - $500,000.
Canadaarm3
The smart robotic system will include several distinct parts:
In-Orbit Assistance
Orbital Express
MDA SKYMAKER™
Status Comment

Lunar Utility Rover
A Canadian utility rover on the Moon
Three companies get initial Lunar Utility Rover contracts, 2025-07-29.
- The three companies selected, Canadensys Aerospace, MDA Space and Mission Control will split the $14.6 million in funding allocated for the 18 month studies.
- The MDA Space team includes the Centre de Technologies Avancées BRP – Université de Sherbrooke (CTA) and the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS).
- MDA said that “As part of this effort, the team will integrate MDA SKYMAKER™ – a full suite of scalable and modular space robotics derived from Canadarm technology – paving the way for scalable, autonomous mobility solutions on the lunar surface to deliver reliable and adaptable operations in challenging lunar environments.”
NASA Invests in Artemis Studies to Support Long-Term Lunar Exploration, 2025-01-23.
- NASA awarded new study contracts Thursday to help support life and work on the lunar surface.
- The Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships Appendix R contracts will advance learning in managing everyday challenges in the lunar environment identified in the agency’s Moon to Mars architecture.
- The selected proposals have a combined value of $24 million, spread across multiple companies, and propose innovative strategies and concepts for logistics and mobility solutions including advanced robotics and autonomous capabilities.
- MDA Space, Houston – surface cargo and mobility.
