\"Canadensys<\/p>\n

Canadensys Aerospace and KSAT announce their ongoing collaboration for communication services to support Canada\u2019s first Lunar Rover. For this, KSAT will leverage its network of very large aperture antennas to provide direct-to-Earth communications from the Lunar surface.<\/p>\n

Canadensys, a global leader in lunar surface infrastructure, designs and builds lunar rovers, observatories, greenhouses, and science instruments for customers around the world. Canadensys is also under contract to the Government of Canada for the nation\u2019s first lunar rover. Initiated under the Canadian Space Agency\u2019s (CSA\u2019s) Lunar Exploration Accelerator Program (LEAP), this lunar rover will demonstrate key technologies for future lunar activity and accomplish meaningful lunar science.<\/p>\n

KSAT is a member of the Canadensys lunar rover team and will provide ground station services for the Canadian Lunar Rover Mission (LRM). KSAT Lunar serves the growing Lunar economy, supporting missions to the Moon in all their different phases, from LEOP all the way to the surface. KSAT\u2019s customers include future relay satellites, orbiters, landers, and rovers as well as crewed programs. KSAT Lunar\u2019s core element will be composed of an initial network of 3x 20-meter X\/Ka antennas to be in the Southwestern USA, Spain, and Australia. These will be operational by mid-2027. In addition, KSAT is supporting present missions from its current network, together with multiple partner antennas around the Globe.<\/p>\n

Christian Sallaberger<\/strong>, President & CEO at Canadensys,<\/strong> stated, <\/strong>\u201c<\/em>KSAT<\/em> is a very important partner to <\/em>Canadensys<\/em> in the area of lunar communications. KSAT is a driving force in global commercial lunar exploration activities, and its approach mirrors our commercial philosophy in the design and implementation of lunar missions. We are happy to have their support on the Canadian Lunar Rover Mission and look forward to collaborating on future missions as well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Amund Nylund, KSAT\u2019s Chief Operations Officer, <\/strong>attending SpaceOps as part of the conference\u2019s organizing committee at large (CAL), <\/strong>expressed his gratitude and added<\/strong>, \u201c<\/em>KSAT<\/em> Lunar is an important element in our strategy to continue leading ground network services in the space sector. Working with the <\/em>Canadensys<\/em> team these past months has been super interesting, and we are very grateful and honoured to have them as our customer in this fascinating journey to the Moon.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Perry Edmundson<\/strong><\/em>, LRM Program Manager at Canadensys, commented<\/strong>: \u201cCanadensys is proud to be working with KSAT Lunar, and we look forward to integrating KSAT Lunar\u2019s new 20-meter antennas into the mission architecture for Canada\u2019s first lunar rover.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
