Canada’s connection to new photos from the Odysseus lunar lander

We have a fascinating new Glimpse tonight of the Moon captured by Landers that is still showing signs of Life despite being written off and as Garrett Barry tells us the fresh perspective was captured with Canadian Tech you’re looking out of the lens of a canadian-made camera most of the images

You’ve seen if not all of them uh from intuitive machines uh that look sort of like a like a round Globe have come from our cameras technology designed in Toronto has has made the long and difficult trip to the moon finding a solution that can do all that as

Electronics to survive the temperature that won’t get fried going through the radiation belts and can withstand a very tough launch environment canadensis supplied seven cameras in total for the im1 mission and because of today’s news that adicus will soon sleep but may come back to life in a few weeks the company

Was still busy today in their own mission operations room for the ILO x uh for for that Imaging system our role has been to uh create all the scripts so turning on and off the camera how long you’re going to image it for where you’re going to store

The data how you’re going to move the data from the camera to the Lander um looking at all the images once they come down they hope to have their cameras on the very first lunar Observatory part of their role in the current adicus mission was to test those cameras in harsh space

Conditions there’s a second Canadian company MDA that’s applied for this Mission too NASA’s new model of partnering with private companies is allowing some Canadians to get in on the action um but it’s also just you know Canada really standing up and saying like we are here to you know not only

Just be part of the uh you know exploration in space uh but to also lead the way with astronaut Jeremy Hansen set to become the first Canadian to fly by the moon on the up coming Artemis 2 mission it’s an exciting time for our country’s space industry G Perry CTV News St John’s
