Canada Reaches for the Moon – 2nd Canadian Lunar Workshop

Detailed description

The Government of Canada has invested in LEAP as a cornerstone of Exploration, Imagination, Innovation: A New Space Strategy for Canada, which was announced on .

CSA is committed to fostering a diverse and equitable Exploration community in Canada and seeks an inclusive workshop that enriches Canada’s contribution to lunar exploration and terrestrial benefits. We encourage diverse teams to participate.

About this workshop

LEAP is an investment that supports space technology development and in-space demonstration, as well as science missions. Its aim is to expand and prepare Canada’s space sector, particularly small and medium sized enterprises, for future exploration missions by offering technology development and demonstration, science and mission opportunities in lunar orbit, on the Moon’s surface, on the Lunar Gateway outpost, or further into deep space with their potential for terrestrial benefits. NASA‘s Artemis Gateway will be an outpost orbiting the moon, providing vital support for a sustainable, long term human return to the surface of the moon, as well as a staging point for deep space exploration.

This workshop provides a forum for CSA to present the advancements of the LEAP program and for academia, industry and government to showcase recent research and projects pertaining to the Moon. This 2nd Canadian Lunar Workshop will focus on the Canadian Lunar Rover, technology development and demonstration, lunar dust, food production, Deep Space Astronaut’s Healthcare, Lunar Gateway utilization, as well as future planning, amongst other topics.

The workshop will be fully virtual.
