Gordon Osinski has spent the last two decades studying craters left behind by meteorites.
The geology team Osinski is a part of will plan astronauts’ scientific tasks during their moonwalks, which will include field geology studies, the collection of lunar samples, imagery and scientific measurements. The samples and data collected will help deepen the understanding of fundamental planetary processes, NASA has said.
Osinski also serves as the scientific lead for Canada’s first lunar rover mission, which is set to head to the moon’s south pole region as early as 2026. He said it’s currently an exciting time for Canadians interested in planetary science.“There’s a lot of students and young scientists in Canada who are doing their graduate work in planetary sciences and there’s definitely a thirst to be involved in these missions,” he said.
It was only after moving to Canada and working with NASA and the Canadian Space Agency that he really became fascinated with space exploration, he said.
