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.
