MONTREAL — The head of a Quebec aerospace company says he's thrilled by the confirmation that a private lunar lander has touched down on the moon with his company's technology aboard.
He said the company has experience deploying its technology on satellites orbiting, and has tested the lunar system repeatedly on simulators. "But there's nothing like making it happen in the real environment of the moon," he said Sunday in a phone interview. The lunar lander carried a drill, vacuum and other experiments for NASA, as well as NGC's software and a Canadian-made moon dust repellent.
