Grants and Contributions

Lunar system design and mission planning require advanced simulations to ensure success, yet existing tools are fragmented, proprietary, or lack full-system integration for mission validation. This project advances the TRL of Foundation Space Resources’ (FSR) Lunar Digital Twin to include additional environmental models and more efficient simulation, resulting in a solution that more holistically addresses Lunar system design and mission planning needs. Current Lunar simulations focus on isolated mission elements, but FSR’s approach uniquely integrates multiple high-fidelity environmental models, providing a more complete and realistic test environment. This allows Canadian space agencies and companies to test hardware, optimize landing sites, and validate mission strategies before deployment, reducing costs, risks, and mission delays.

As artificial intelligence (AI) systems become increasingly embedded in smart devices and daily life, individuals are increasingly making decisions that affect their privacy, autonomy, and rights. Despite this, public understanding of AI’s role in data collection, processing, and decision-making remains limited. Improving AI literacy, specifically digital citizenship, may empower individuals to responsibly make informed privacy decisions or effectively exercise their rights under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
While AI literacy programs currently exist, they are largely limited to formal education or professional settings. This creates a potential inequity as many may not have the ability, capacity, or motivation to access AI literacy courses. This project takes a human-centred service design approach to bridge this AI literacy gap by engaging the public in codesigning strategies to reach a broader population.
