Mission Control Space Services CEO says the failed landing was less a setback than a missed opportunity, and vows to keep flying
“It isn’t something that is a setback, it’s more in the category of a missed opportunity,” he told the National Post. “It wasn’t as if our technology failed and therefore we would have lost the trust of our customers. Rather we didn’t have a chance to validate the technology and cement the trust of our customers. So it wasn’t a setback, it was just not the step forward that we hoped it would be.”
“We’re still the first to deploy deep learning A.I. in lunar orbit,” he said. “We are the first and only Canadian-owned company to actually deploy technology on a lunar rover mission.”Article content Reid is excited about potential Earth-orbit uses of the technology as well. A deep learning A.I. system could be used to filter out clouds from pictures taken from space, or automatically detect unregistered ocean vessels.
“This is not going to stop us,” said Reid. “This is going to encourage us to keep trying and eventually to get it right and eventually land something softly on the moon and represent Canada in this new space era.”
