Published purpose

This project will study low-cost satellite production methods and navigation and control systems that will make space missions more accessible to mid-sized companies and universities. Research includes using drones to test new systems that can be used to improve docking and guidance operations on future deep space missions and how drones can be used to explore other planets. This project will position Canada as a leader in satellite control technologies and innovative space systems. It will showcase Canadian satellite engineering expertise, foster technology development, and strengthen the Canadian space industry through the development of highly qualified personnel.
