Description:
This project « Canadian Science and
Engineering – a Path Back to the Moon »
objective is to create a new suite of
programs that will increase knowledge and
awareness of STEM topics within the Canadian
space context for youth and educators in
Northern Alberta. The core of these programs
will be the creation of a new live
planetarium show that will explore the work
done by diverse Canadian scientists and
engineers involved in the Lunar Gateway
mission, which is returning humans to the
Moon. The show will explore Canadian
achievements in space research and
engineering through the years, from the
start with Alouette-I to today's challenges
of once again exploring the Moon. The live
presentation will also showcase Canadian
robotics and space imaging expertise, and
the challenges that need to be overcome to
return humans to the Moon.
