Eight Canadian organizations will begin developing solutions to purify moon water as part of the next stage of Canada’s Aqualunar Challenge. Each semi-finalist will receive a grant to develop the key components of their prototypes. In turn, their technology, first intended for space missions, could also help advance water purification on Earth.
Selected organizations include Canadian Space Mining Corporation, Sixpenny Architectural Fabrication, 778 Labs, WaterPuris, Cimbus, the University of Calgary, Lotic Technologies, and McGill University. The Canadian Space Agency delivers the competition in collaboration with the Privy Council Office’s Impact Canada.
