Opinion: Western Canada joins moon mission through lunar vehicle program |
Canada is contributing several key technologies to NASA’s Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the moon for the first time in more than half a century.

While most Canadians associate space development with major centres in Ontario and Quebec, recent work is showing that Canada’s lunar program is becoming more geographically diverse. In November, Mission Control Space Services announced its first partner for the LUV development effort — Eagle Flight Network (EFN), an Indigenous-owned space-infrastructure company based in Calgary.
